How is that not essentially calorie counting? If a diet says at 8:00am eat 10g Fat, 30g protein 30g carbs that's still a way of saying eat 330 calories

If the diet says at 8:00am eat 330 calories, can you determine how much fat, protein and carbs you must eat?

Do you notice now how they are not equivalent?
