To those of you who can't escape your calorie consciousness, I hope the following link helps. Swole.me is a new automatic diet planner that allows you to generate an entire day's worth of meals based on the amount of calories you want to take in. You can even tailor it based on what's in your pantry, by food type (carbs, proteins) or diet brand (Zone, Paleo).
I can't tell you to stop counting calories. I'd just like to make your life easier and less divorced from the enjoyment of food. Long term, we can move toward concepts like "full or not full" or "eat food — not too much, mostly plants." And maybe that starts by taking math out of the equation.

It kind of depends on what your health/fitness goals are. If you want to lose weight and just have a healthier lifestyle then the Michael Pollan mantra is good advice. If you have very specific goals (cut weight, gain weight, raise your speed and endurance, gain strength, develop mass or lean muscle, etc.) then it can become more complicated than "eat plants." I personally do think you are right that counting calories isn't particularly effective.
