Noob Lifter , Counting Macros - Must?

I'm fairly new to lifting but basically I want to work hard in the gym and eat a clean diet to build muscle mass.

Is it absolutely necessary to count macros for the sake of building mass? Or can this be done by eating regularly, clean, and healthy.

My current diet is currently as follows:

Morning:

8-12 eggs + Rice + blueberries

midday Smoothie with Protein (1-2 scoops)

Lunch - Sandwich or Burger

After Lunch Snack - Banana or nuts

Dinners - Steak + Vegetables

Before Bed: cottage cheese



I've been running this for a bit and doing fairly high volume at the gym. How long can I get away with a routine like this?

Thanks for insights
