Yes, that appears to be right.  And your approach does not appear
to work for me.  If my carbs are low enough then the amount of
meat I have to eat to satisfy my appetite is sufficient either to
prevent weight loss or to cause weight gain.  The trick seems to
be to get enough carbs to control appetite so that I don't
overeat protein and fat.  I can do it, but it seems to be a very
narrow path indeed.
