Myth: Carbohydrates make you fat Fact: Carbs are necessary for a balanced diet

Carbohydrates do not make you fat. Calories make you fat. Often it’s the sugar and fat contained in carbohydrates that make you fat. Also a lot of carbohydrates are processed, so you don’t get the advantage of feeling full from fiber found in unprocessed carbs.

For example, whole grain pasta is more filling — and makes you feel satisfied longer — than white pasta, though both have the same amount of calories.

What will change the number of calories is the amount of sauce and butter you put on your pasta.
What you want to do is eat carbs in moderation.
