Question Do calories count or not?

I'm interested in the differences among the various low-carb approaches. Here's one that intrigues me. Diana Schwarzbein (TSP) says even when trying to lose weight, do not worry about calories; eat (good) fat and protein until you are comfortably satisfied; give quantity no thought. Your body will naturally limit consumption of fat anyway.

But Michael and Mary Eades (PPLP) say to watch fat calories if you are are not losing weight (and wish to). Only on maintenance can you ignore calories from fat and protein.

This is a direct conflict. Does anyone have any thoughts on this?

Thanks.

Sheldon
