Not a bad idea to count protein for a few days to make sure you’re getting enough to satisfy your hunger (e.g., I aim for 100g of protein most days) because if you don’t you’ll find yourself fighting cravings for the worst foods later.

As long as you know how to avoid the worst offenders (sugar, flours, fried foods, seed oils, anything that makes you ravenous while or after you eat it, etc.) and stick to real food, no need to count anything.
