Yes! To reiterate: the backlash against calorie counting into not taking calories into account at all is just as damaging.

Certain foods help satiate better than others at lesser calories -- which is why some people find that eating 1500 calories of high fat and protein foods to be much easier to live with than eating 1500 carb heavy calories.

IMO, that's one of the big draw of keto. It's not that you can magically eat 5000 calories of cheese and meat and lose weight. It's that you can eat a caloric amount at a deficit and still feel energetic and full and like you didn't miss out on anything.
