I am down 14kg this year through IF (typically around 20:4, some 18:6 and even some 22:2) - was 16-17kg down until I got my bread machine, now slowly working my way down again. Started at nearly 100kg; I consider my ideal weight to be just under 80kg, being a reasonably tall male who lifts weights to combat the office chair, getting closer to 50 years old.
Speaking from personal experience, I will likely eat fewer calories if I get those from high protein, high fat sources (say: egg & bacon omelette, cooked in butter) than high carbohydrate (say: home made high protein bread, buttery spread, blackberry jam sandwiches).
Why? The former just has that slower, more impactful energy release - and it's easier to stop eating after that one meal, whereas the bread might very well make me go "oooh that was yum, I didn't realise how hungry I am, let's make another one".
