I can provide another anecdotal evidence. I lost around 20 pounds with calorie (and fat) counting and stood there for the recent 4 years. Last 2 months I switched to counting carbs, too. At all I lost more than I gained during my CS studies. :) p.s.: I frequently work out and bicycle. That certainly adds to it.
