...count calories? If i eat mostly just pasta and bread for a week or 2 , I always gain 10 pounds, even if i carefully count calories - down to the calorie.

But if i eat the same number of calores but eat a lot of junk food, along with a lot of good food , i lose weight.

And i only eat like 2200 calories a day in either case.

Is this proof that the calories you see on the package are wrong or calorie counting is pointless?
 
Because the calories found in bleached pasta and white bread are considered to be "empty" calories. Even though you're eating "junk and good" foods when you do the other diet the "good" foods (you don't say what those are) are providing nutritional support to the body, causing it to run more efficiently and more effectively in burning off calories.

When you eat nothing but processed crap carbs your body is sent into shock. It needs protein to build and repair muscle. The crap carbs are being stored as fat in your body because it will hold on to anything in an attempt to stay well nourished.
