I don't think you understand the unit of measure called a "calorie" if you believe this.
In general people consume more calories when they predominantly take their calories in from carb sources, through stupid sources like liquid (soda) or sweets. It really has very little to do with carbs alone, unless you consume high-GI carb sources in isolation (which causes a high insulin response). But most people mix carbs, fat and protein, and there are enough studies to show that you can pretty much ignore the high-GI/low-GI paranoia when you do this.
But at the end of the day, unless you have some medical condition, carbs are fine. Just watch your calories.
Well, sure, there is that. But there's another effect going on here. If I eat a fistful of cashews I'm going to feel full for a good long while, and if I eat the equivalent calories in bread I'm going to still feel like eating more.
