Actually that's not quite true. Carbohydrate is not all the same. It all depends on the glycaemic index and glycaemic load of the carb. source.- ideally you want low GI/GL foods. Wheat and potato are high GI/GL, oats are low.
I learned a bit about this when I went on a low GL diet a couple of years ago - it really does work, no counting calories etc. just eat low GL foods.
