Calorie question

I know I always read and see people saying that a calorie is a calorie at the end of the day. If you're allowed to eat 1,900 calories a day, technically they can come from anywhere but of course it is smart to pick filling and healthy foods. My question comes from the fact that I get scared eating my actual calorie limit for the day because my carbs or fat intake is so high.

For example. Today I'm really trying to eat 1900 calories and I'm at 1893 but Everyone says a 2000 calorie diet your fat shouldn't be over 65 and carbs 300

And I'm at

85 g fat
231 carbs

my carbs are in line but my fat is high. Is that still okay? Some days it's flipped where carbs are almost 300 or higher and fat is low. So I guess it balances out ? But at the end of the day is it true that I can eat 1900 calories from anywhere and still lose weight if that's my set goal?

hi-fat meals can impact your cholesterol

but still, losing weight is simple as CICO (calories in vs calories out)

if CO < CI = gain weight

 if else CO > CI = losing weight

   else CO==CO = maintenance weight

Summary #1: If I've read this thread correctly, everything is bad and everything is good except junk food.

Summary #2: Every "Fact" posted in this thread has been countered with another "Fact" which says, "Not so!"

 

Did I get that correct?
