When I go out to Myplate to get it to suggest a plate for me:

I have to pick a calorie goal in my age group at the bottom. So you might not count calories, but you have to pick a goal and Myplate will keep you at or under it. In other words, you don't have to obsess over calories at every meal or even every day, but you do have to know how much you burn in a day and select a goal below that to lose weight. All diets that cause you to lose weight lead you to consume less fuel than you burn.
If you click on the Start button in the graphic higher up, it will take you to a check list where it will help you determine what the number is so it can select the right plan.
