I think the low carb argument is that processed carbs mess with your blood sugar levels, making you hungrier, but the discourse around nutrition is messed up enough that there are many low carb arguments, some of them mutually contradictory. As for your penny, zero, unless I'm greatly mistaken, which is why pennies don't come with nutritional labels.

THE low carb argument is ketosis. That's not even controversial. If you look it up on Wikipedia, it's described in a very aseptic way, it just a basic fact of metabolism. If you look at low carbs diets articles instead, a cloud of disinformation appears.
