So sugar, carb and fat intake don't matter? It's all about the total calories plus getting the amount of protein you recommended?

That surprises me.

I should probably be more clear. In overall health, fats, carbs, and protein do matter. However, I find it's hard to convince beginners to make drastic changes to their diet.

So thats why I recommend tracking only calories at first. Get used to tracking food and hit your weight goal. Then, when already used to being mindful of your diet, you can adapt it to be more overall healthy.
