Carbs and weight gain

lilpedro13

I am eating way more carbs than I should be but also am staying under my caloric goal. Will I gain weight?

No

Will you gain fat, no. Will you gain weight.. potentially but only if you are eating a lot more carbs than previously and storing additional glycogen. But that is an extreme example.

If you're eating more carbs than usual you may see a gain due to increased glycogen storage/water weight. But no, it won't cause you to gain fat if you're still eating less than you burn.
