If you re-read what you wrote, then the point of calorie counting is simply usesless - because satiation and energy levels contribute to the other side of your calorie equation (you likely expend more energy).
Calorie counting is like counting MIPS or Mhz in a CISC architecture - when the IPC varies based instruction types processed - it's an incomplete (and IMHO useless) view.

Biologically, the cells in your body require a specific amount of calories each day just to exist. Whether that's higher than your "base load" because you're very active or lower because you're fasting, the bottom line is that if your intake of calories is lower than your caloric expenditure, you will lose body mass as the body converts energy stores in fat and muscle via metabolic pathways. In other words, you can lose weight even without exercise (increase in expenditure) as long as you decrease your consumption below your baseline caloric needs.
