Oh I so empathise with this. My mum was pointing my attention to a documentary where it said that it's more difficult for some people to lose weight than others because some people have a 'hunger hormone' and I was just thinking: "are you trying to depress me?" I know she was trying to make me feel better but I also interpreted it as: 'science says you're fucked.'
I think some people in science department say a lot stuff about what we eat and then changes its mind a lot the next minute (e.g. eating too many apples will give you cancer (I actually read an article that argued this), apples will keep the doctor away, etc.), so I wouldn't pay too much attention to that article. If keeping track of what you eat means that you're getting a balanced diet that keeps you at a healthy weight, I'd stick with what you're doing.
