I believed the same thing as you.. that it is a matter of calories.. but since have found out that when carbs are ingested the insulin levels spike turning what we do eat into fat.. if I eat ever eat carbs I first eat protein slowing down the digestion of carbs.. This has been the ONLY way I have controlled my weight. AND I don't count calories. I fell for the low fat ..high carb diet and what happened? I gained weight even though my caloric intake was lower.. muscles burn fat for fuel.. carbs it seems causes body fat ..

Fat can only be gained by excess calories, you can get fat by eating to many of all types of calories(fat,protein and carbs). Your muscles use Glucose for energy no matter what the original source. The nice thing is mucles need calories all the time, fat just hangs around waiting to be used and doesn't really burn any calories to exist.
