Other than not going past your calories

Calories are primary. I view protein and fat as a minimum. I let the carbs fall where they may.

I mostly just try to eat a healthful balanced diet and then everything else seems to fall in place. I do keep an eye on protein (as a minimum), fiber (as a minimum), and sat fat (as a maximum).

I think it's important to make sure
Your food is nutritionally balanced and if it is then you should naturally feel more satiated and have less cravings... The resulting effect would be eating less calories. It's important to know too that carbs can effect the body differently than say a healthy fat might. White flour turns into sugar in your body which gets stored as fat for example. Not all calories are equal. This has been a major learning curve for me since I have trouble staying within my calorie limit if I don't eat a balanced diet. If I eat well rounded meals it's much easier for me to control my eating and feel full more easily

Right now I'm only focused on calories.

not too much salt.
