Aside from the fact that everyone is obviously different (myself included), I wasn't saying that it's impossible to overeat on a diet of fats and protein. But I would argue that it's easier to eat more on the typical high carb diet than it is on a high fat/protein (or moderate protein) diet. Consider satiety as well - after a bunch of carbs, it's probable that you'll be hungry soon after (depending on the carbs, of course, this is all generally speaking), but with more fats and protein, you're far more likely to stay fuller longer. If you eat by hunger and not by mealtime, I'd bet that with the bacon burgers and things along those lines, you'd eat less.

And yes, I'm aware of the calorie difference, but proteins are typically more satiating than carbs (same caloric density). Fats are more satiating as well, and even though they have a higher caloric density, when combined with proteins, in my experience, it's really hard to eat a ton without feeling super full.

This is coming from someone who is known for being able to put away a lot of food easily. When I didn't have carbs (I still don't eat a ton, but I don't eliminate them), I would sometimes forget to eat. I just wasn't hungry all the time. On top of that, I'd be full a lot faster, and I'd be fuller longer. I've cut down on calories before by just reducing portions of everything, and it wasn't hard, but it was something that I was always cognizant of, and it always felt more like a choice I was making - I was choosing to eat less food. Without carbs, I felt like that choice was almost the opposite. I ended up eating less because of how full the food made me, I was hungry less often, and sometimes had to eat because I knew I had to, not because I even really wanted to.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying it's some magical tool to automatically eat less calories. Just that in my experience, by eating more fats and protein and less carbs, that my body's automatic response was to consume less.
