Dietary fat is what is stored as bodily fat, when a caloric excess is consumed. And that for dietary carbohydrates to be stored as fat (which requires conversion through the process called ‘de novo lipogenesis’ the carbohydrate portion of one’s diet alone must approach or exceed one’s TDEE(total daily energy expenditure).

"Abstract
The enzymatic pathway for converting dietary carbohydrate (CHO) into fat, or de novo lipogenesis (DNL), is present in humans, whereas the capacity to convert fats into CHO does not exist. Here, the quantitative importance of DNL in humans is reviewed, focusing on the response to increased intake of dietary CHO. Eucaloric replacement of dietary fat by CHO does not induce hepatic DNL to any substantial degree. Similarly, addition of CHO to a mixed diet does not increase hepatic DNL to quantitatively important levels, as long as CHO energy intake remains less than total energy expenditure (TEE). Instead, dietary CHO replaces fat in the whole-body fuel mixture, even in the post-absorptive state. Body fat is thereby accrued, but the pathway of DNL is not traversed; instead, a coordinated set of metabolic adaptations, including resistance of hepatic glucose production to suppression by insulin, occurs that allows CHO oxidation to increase and match CHO intake. Only when CHO energy intake exceeds TEE does DNL in liver or adipose tissue contribute significantly to the whole-body energy economy. It is concluded that DNL is not the pathway of first resort for added dietary CHO, in humans. Under most dietary conditions, the two major macronutrient energy sources (CHO and fat) are therefore not interconvertible currencies; CHO and fat have independent, though interacting, economies and independent regulation. The metabolic mechanisms and physiologic implications of the functional block between CHO and fat in humans are discussed, but require further investigation."

Got it, Professor Moopie. Your Cliff's Notes were much easier to get through.

I think fat gain will be equal, this article is just showing that for carbs to be converted to fat it would take an extraordinary feat. As in your full daily allowance of calories would have to be 100% carbs. But you can still gain fat because carbs will inhibit fat oxidation causing the fat that you do eat to be stored.

Damn, I wish I hadn't studied this darn article. Could have just waited for David and Moopie's synopsis.

At the end of the day it's still CICO. No need to read it unless you need to know the mechanism behind certain macros.

No kidding, Erquiaga... I saw that at 6 a.m. and thought- I'll support it-like a good wife- but I ain't readin' it.
