I have never counted calories, but now that I am at goal, I do try to be a little conscious of them. I use Hellmann's light mayo, which has 0.8 carbs per tablespoon, rather than 0.1 carbs of their full fat mayo. Half the calories though. I also eat more fish and chicken, and less beef, for the same reason.
But I certainly haven't given up fat! I have beef once or twice a week, and full fat cheddar 2 or 3 times a day.
It's all a balancing act. I think if you eat mindfully, and plan, and continue to weigh regularly, you'll figure out what works for you!
