Absolutely. I only tracked my calories for like two and a half months. A few years ago. Because of that I stopped buying nearly as much junk food, less sugary foods, less meat, switched to diet soda/flavored sparkling water etc. like oh my god, any food that involves a potato and oil has to be treated with the caution you'd give a moose.
For anyone trying to lose weight, a really good start is downloading a free calorie tracking app and track calories for just a few weeks. You don't have to change your diet, don't need to get on any plan or anything, just quantify what you're putting into your body and you'll develop a 5th sense at the grocery store for what kinds of things you need to limit.
