Carbohydrates/starches do the same thing. The body coverts them to fat if you over-eat. A high carbohydrate diet is the number one reason for obesity.

Eating whole grains is better as they are digested slower and don't spike the blood sugar as fast.

Spending a day outside in cold temps can double or triple your caloric needs depending on the conditions.
