Hi, I just kind of found myself cutting back on some fats while maintaining, I still don't count calories, I eat all fruits and veggies, whole grains, brown rice.
what do you mean by higher carb foods? AS long as they are wholesome foods and not a processed item, then I say no don't worry about the calories. But if Higher carb means treats/desserts, ect, then it makes sense to pay attention to your daily calorie count, but first and formost, I'd be keeping track just in your head of the carb counts.

Hope that makes sense,
Kathy
