If on a deficit, I find it more important than ever to eat quality calories (complex carbs, lean proteins, veggies) because I want to feel energetic through out the day, and perform well at the gym.

Yes , you prob would feel like crap after only McDonalds and IMO , get fat even if you ate below maintaince. So a calorie is not just a calorie.
Do you think you would lose the same amount of weight eating whatever you wanted to eat as long as it was below maintaince ?

Even on a surplus you should eat quality calories . If your trying to min your fat while adding muscle it makes a big difference in what you put into your body.
But this is about Keto diets....And in all honesty I feel that a more balanced diet works best and is best for the body. Yes , Keto's work but IME the body gets a bit out of wack . My digestive system doesn't work half as good as when I have carbs in my diet. Now I do keep my carbs moderate to low and somedays I even go with none , but personally I can't stay on the NO carb for very long - Things just don't seem to run proper for me.
