Sure it matters, but you don't know. You don't know how many calories you are actually absorbing from that food, and you don't know how long it takes to burn them off. Your metabolism can do all kinds of shenanigans, and unless the CO2 you're breathing out is being measured, you simply don't know what it's up to.
The amount of food you eat matters dude. It's ok to track
