I've started counting calories and I feel like a kid in a toy store not sure what he wants to buy with his allowance

I've counted calories in the past and I reliably get good results doing so. The problem is that I really don't keep up with it because I'll just stare into the fridge unsure of what I should spend my calories on.

It's like I wake up everyday with $2500 and every calorie cost a dollar. I find that I certainly become cautious of what I'm eating because I want to make sure my money isn't wasted. I also find that towards the end of the night I'll be hungry with $500-$700 to spend but I'll just stay hungry because I can't decide what to eat with the cash. A lot of times I'm afraid I'll eat something and I'll just continue to be hungry without any cash left. Instead, I'll just keep the money 'just in case' but I inevitably go to bed hungry.

This works for a week or so, but I found that if I'm not eating enough during the day, I'll wake up at 3am and go on a food binge. Often times I don't remember the next day until I see the wrapper/plate/bag of whatever the next morning. I will then stop counting all together because it's just burdensome, even though I consistently lose wait doing it.

One last thing...it's crazy how little one serving of cereal is. It's like there is nothing in the bowl. Wasn't there some legislation that passed that food labels will eventually have to start putting realistic serving sizes on the packaging?
