I am amazed just how much we can discuss without actually bringing in
evidence (like science articles from medline).

I think that the question is excellent and the answer is far from
obvious and needs to be ascertained via a study.

It seems fairly clear that low carbers can get away with eating more
calories than low fatters. Just how far this goes is not clear.

Well, in this case each person is going to be different. YMMV holds. While
many studies seem to have demonstrated that people eating a low carb diet
can get away with eating more calories to lose weight than can the people
eating the lowish-fat higher carbohydrate diets, there are still a looooooot
of variables to sort out in those studies. Which means that I don't recall
seeing much of anything that appeared to give the definitive answer to this
question.

Obviously it's possible to eat too many calories to allow weight loss on LC,
regardless of macronutrient proportions. Too much anecdotal evidence, and
also almost everyone, especially women, needs to pay attention to calories
in the latter part of their weight loss, as they get closer to goal. My take
on this is that if you're low-carbing and generally understanding and
following the instructions, not eating a bunch of processed low-carb crap
foods, and you're not losing weight over a period of several weeks, you're
probably going to have to count and limit calories and/or exercise more.
