I try to beat on this drum whenever I see people jump to conclusions, in studies, on the media, or on Hacker News, based off one study. The possibility for one study to be screwed up is so enormously high nobody should ever take one at face value.
To date, most studies that review the concept of "some foods make you fatter than others" vs "calories in vs calories out" consistently weigh in favor of "calories in vs calories out".
I always find www.sciencebasedmedicine.org to be a great resource for this. Also, the podcast Skeptics Guide to the Universe is really fun, and they talk about things like this all the time.
