Will Eating Carbs At Night Make Me Fat?

Will eating carbs, especially at night make you fat? Carbohydrates are a very misunderstood macronutrient and I hope this video helps to clear a few things up. Most people fear eating carbohydrates because they were told that is the reason people get fat, when they are misunderstanding the entire idea of a 24 hour macronutrient intake, energy balance, etc.
Key Words: De novo lipogenesis - glycogen - oxidation
Eat more carbs burn more carbs (and store more glycogen) Eat less burn less (glycogen levels drop)
carb oxidation goes up and fat oxidation goes down. 
"Carbs don't make you fat via direct conversion and storage to fat; but excess carbs can still make you fat by blunting out the normal daily fat oxidation so that all of the fat you're eating is stored. Which is why a 500 cal surplus of fat and a 500 cal surplus of carbs can both make you fat; they just do it for different reasons through different mechanisms. The 500 calories of excess fat is simply stored; the excess 500 calories of carbs ensure that all the fat you're eating is stored because carb oxidation goes up and fat oxidation goes down.
