Is losing weight all about keeping track of calories? What about the other things...

...on nutrition facts? They say the key to losing weight is just calories. Burn more than your intake and you will lose weight. So if I eat a hamburger that is 700 calories (junk food, full of fat, greasy, etc) but burn more calories than i ate at the end of the day, then i should basically lose weight still right? I am not sure how this works.

When I calculated how many calories i need to maintain weight, it said i need 2,200 calories a day to maintain weight. 1,400 to lose a lot of weight. Well it is almost the end of the day, and so far i have only eatin 530 calories. So if i ate a burger tonight and end up with 1400 calories today, wouldnt i still lose weight?

No i am not going to eat a burger btw, im going to the gym in about an hour lol. Just asking so i can make sense of this.
