Excess carbs are stored as fat

Actually, excess carbohydrates are stored as glycogen in the liver. When the liver stores of glycogen are 'maxed out', then any additional excess carbohydrates are converted into fatty acids and stored in adipocytes (fat cells) as triglycerides.

Hope this helps you. Best wishes and good luck.
