What really makes you fat?

Question

Carbs or calories? And what are complex carbs?

Answer 1

Carbs give you the bloated look. So I would have to say carbs make you fat.

Answer 2

Carbs is energy given buy any breads, pastas....and if you don't use that energy it will get converted into fat
Complex Carbs are carbs that your body needs the most if you run or swim or do any cardio
Carlories aren't what you need to worry about as much the least daily calories u need is 2,000 cal

Answer 3

calories make you fat

the mitochondria in your cells metabolises carbs first, then it burns the fats and lipids.
any carbs that aren't used up are converted to fat. and thats how the low carb or no carb diet works: you force the body to burn the fats. the problem with that, though is that when you are off the diet, carbs become fats more easily than before.
it really doesn't matter what you eat, but the number of calories counts.
every 3500 kcal = 1 pound

complex carbs are starches, which are dissolved by saliva
