You do not burn carbs or fat or protein, but energy. Calories are a measuring unit for energy.  BFGarner is correct, 1 g carbohydrate is 4 calories. But if you are in ketosis, your body breaks down (primarily) fat for energy. 1 g fat is 9 calories.
__________________ "The truth is that temptation lurks everywhere, unless you deny yourself a social and working life and the attendant pleasures of eating out. I believe that the best way to overcome temptation is not with willpower, which is so often in short supply, but with our brain power, a potentially unlimited resource. Imagine that you're doing great, losing weight, feeling better than ever, thrilled with yourself, hearing compliments from friends and acquaintances---and then it happens! Despite all your good intentions, you're mightily tempted by a food you're not supposed to have. What to do? I'll tell you this: You'd better have a strategy ready!" (Dr. Atkins' New Diet Revolution, Chapter 19) |

If you are asking can you do mounds of exercise to compensate for extra carbs the answer is NO. The extra carbs will take you out of ketosis no matter how much exercise you do and will turn off the fat burning mechanism. Digestion and metabolism of food is different from work energy of the body. Extra exercise will burn more calories, but if you have turned of the fat burning mechanism then its kind of like two steps forward, three steps back.
