Does Dr. Fung advocate tracking or caloric deficits on LCHF?

On keto when insulin is low, in theory, it circumvents to 2 compartment model so the body can access its fat stores. However, despite having fasted 20 out of 60 last days (OMAD on eating days), I’ve actually gained about 3lbs. I haven’t tracked calories, but some days I can eat 2-3lbs of high fat meat a day, which ends up being 3000+ calories.

On the IDM Facebook group (which I’ve only briefly browsed) they seem to eat to satiety and avoid counting calories. I’ve never heard him advocate for calorie counting, and he’s made several negative comments about how difficult accurate counting is, and how if you don’t know your accurate output, the data is kinda useless anyway.
