You must, I repeat must pay attention to overall calories for weight loss, or for that matter weight gain(though not as much as folks trying to gain just normally to them anything is fair game).
The 'good' fats are especially needed in your diet. These are EFA's, Omega 3's. They are mainly found in fish(marine sources your best supply). There are plant sources also, but these are not as good. If you do not like to eat fish, and most of us cannot eat enough fish to 'balance' out the Omega 6's ingested, then fish oil capsule are the way to go.
I recommend for the most part molecularly distilled and pharmaceutical grade. At the very least MD.
On your 'cheat days', if you take in alot of carbs when you normally don't, you may well see your weight spike up. But this is due more to water weight, as you do not gain in one day large amounts of weight.
However, you need to space your cheat days. Example on a cyclical keto type diet usually 1-2 days, but then this is a special type of diet where you eat no carbs basically all week, then carb up for 2 days or so. Theory is it allows a full metabolism shift to a fat for fuel one with little or very little protein conversion to glucose. The body will use free form fatty acids for fuel and energy levels will increase in most.
This works for many folks, for many it does not. Then there is the TKD(targeted keto diet), but I will stop here as this is probably info overload.:)
