Fat, Protien, Carbs are all calories created equal?

Thread Starter 
I just joined sparkpeople and they want me to eat a diet of 50% carbs, 20% protien, 30% fat. Since joining three days ago I have found that I am eating 40% carbs, 40% fat, 20% protien. I am still staying in my calorie range for the day though. Does it really matter weither it is a fat, carb or protien calorie?

If you are hormonally normal and have no insulin resistance, imo, no, it doesn't matter. Just eat less and you'll lose weight.

If you have abnormal hormones (lucky me, I do) and have insulin resistance (luck strikes twice for me! woo!) then yes, it does matter. Very much.
