Because humans are not robots, typically instead of laboriously calculating how many calories we eat each day, we eat to a point of satiety. Some foods are better and some are worse at causing satiety. So in that sense, a kcal of sugar isn't the "same" as a kcal of protein because one makes you feel more "full" than the other and thus naturally encourages you to eat less.

If your goal is to lose weight, track calories to do it. I can lose weight on demand eating nothing but junk but keeping track of how much of it I'm eating.
