    Calories is top most important, but you have to make sure you balance your carb/fat/protein intake. Healthy carbs from veggies are fine, but I would avoid the heavy stuff like bread and potatoes.
    From what I've learned, your body uses carbs ingested as an immediate fuel source. So, when you eat carbs, instead of using stored fat for energy, it grabs the carbs. So, you're not necessarily gaining weight, but losing it is going to prove more difficult. Plus. Carbs for some reason give your body the cure to hold on harder to water weight. It's a balance

    It's fine to eat a similar amount of starchy carbohydrates each day, as they produce a slower rise in blood glucose levels. It's more likely the portion sizes of starchy carbs that people get wrong and overconsume, which then leads to the myth that starchy carbs are 'heavy' or unhealthy.
