Calorie-counting

Is there a way of eating low-GI ^and^ low calorie?

For example, I made this delicious and filling 'bread' yesterday but it's a whopping 200 calories per slice! It's still 178 cals if I halve the seeds. If I have just one slice of this to accompany my chickpea & leek (blah, blah..) soup I've pushed the meal up to almost 500 cals.

Am I supposed not to count calories if I'm eating low GI & exercising (running every other day)?

Probably too late to post but I'd say that the opposite that it's impossible to calorie count and not do low GI foods, as high GI foods spike your blood sugar and make you hungrier sooner. It's 500 calories but it'll keep the hunger pangs off for longer. Log the 500 calories as you would normally. And good luck!
