Yes, but you must only count them in pairs.

Counting I/O never hurts, it may end of the day be simple math what works or doesn't. Always has been for me...

To some extent at least, the answer is yes.

You don't have to do anything other than burn more calories than you consume. Count them, don't count them, just maintain a steady deficit.

This.

You don't have to count calories but most people need to because it's VERY easy to eat too many. It's ingrained in me to count, because I want to know, give or take, how much I'm eating. Can't reiterate enough how easy it is to eat too many (without necessarily eating a lot either).

No... I never did.. Been up and down over the years, and never counted calories.

Here is some advice: Take you weight seriously. Get in a real program (there are varieties). Follow the advice of your "trainer"...
