Re: please explain clearly

I would eat at least 1500 calories in your situation.
The general advice is to eat to your appetite because our body actually does have a common sense. It will tell you when it is full and tell you when it is hungry.

Are you afraid you cannot tell when you are full?

Re: please explain clearly

If you are hungry you eat more.

You are obsessed by numbers. I think Are you used to counting calories. We do not count calories on Atkins we count carbs and ONLY carbs. Why do you not try that and see how that will work for you. Eat real whole foods and veggies and follow the rules

Here are some threads in our FAQ that will help you.

Re: please explain clearly

Your body will tell you. Liv is absolutely right. Count carbs only. Don't even think about calories. As you get the hang of this, you should be able to tell when to eat, when not to and when to stop eating. When you are there, if you are using fitday you can look back and your calories will likely be in the right range. Think of it as freedom from worrying about calories. If you are eating carbs correctly you will not go overboard on calories - especially if you are exercising.

Re: please explain clearly

When you still think you are hungry drink a glass of pure water -- many times people "think" thay are hungry when their body is dehydrated and is actually needing water.
How much water do you drink daily? 64 ounces is the minimum you should be drinking.

Re: please explain clearly

Yes... listen to your body. Eat to satisfy your hunger no more, no less. Keep to the rules regarding carbs for your phase of Atkins; exercise; drink lots of water. The calories will take care of themselves.
