So I recently started the Atkins Diet along with burning at least 500 a day but I'm not reaching 1200 calories in food daily...what should I do? Do I need to eat enough for the 1200 calories?

    If you are doing Atkins how are you not eating enough? Atkins is all about higher fat foods and usually means high calories too? I pretty much live Atkins and rarely have an issue? All you have to do is add a serving of cheese or peanut butter or nuts and thats about 200 calories :) Hope that helps! With Atkins counting calories is not as important as counting carbs, as due to the higher fat your not as hungry as normal anyhow.
