As a low-carb dieter , I don't normally count calories. I have checked them a couple times and find I eat about 1500-1600 calories a day. Even though butter wouldn't be considered high in carbs, I think most of us know better than to eat a huge amount of artery clogging fats. I eat lean meats, unprocessed foods, whole grains, fruits and fresh veggies just like the calorie counters and keep a written notebook daily on my carb count. This has worked better for me than any "diet" I have ever been on. Any time that I did have a stall in my progress, the first thing I did was take a keen interest in my fats and cut back in that area. It worked like a charm.
