I just use a calorie amount as a rule of thumb..
Like I will eat icecream at Baskin Robins and I'll just figure the estimated amount into my daily amount. I binge somtimes on alcohol or junk food here and there, but since I'm usually under a calorie amount for the week, I don't gain weight, but I do lose it. It's a slow way to lose but I haven't lost any muscle, just some strength. Being leaner feels great.
People are weird.. They dislike the idea of eating healthy and brush it off because they don't have discipline to do it. They have messed up views on healthy eating and think eating right simply means switching to wheat bread from white bread.. 
And switching from soda to juice. They also put so much into stupid fad diets, like that low cab nonsense..
Yes you have found the path of least resistance to be fantistically fit, healthy, AND relatively satisfied with what you eat. I'm just trying to help people see the light, you obviously already know what is up.
You also point out a common misconception amongst fat overeaters. They think that the way to be healthier is just to consume mass quantities of healthy food. Like "I don't know why I'm not losing weight I've been eating a large Veggie lovers pizza, a big bowl of ceasar salad and lots of peanuts every night but I still cant lose this weight."
Really the problem is that most people will try lots of different diets but whatever they will try they always overeat because they are not addicted to certain foods, they are addicted to being full and sedated and they can't stand to ever be hungry. They don't love food, they are just frieghtened of ever feeling hungry.
