Hey all! I'm restarting Atkins induction... When I did Atkins before (and had great success, but I think I'm a little more brainwashed now about calories and all that) I never tracked or counted anything. Since then I've gotten stuck on low calorie and everything else. So I guess the question is, when following the 2002 version of Atkins, do I NEED to count calories? I used MFP's set caloric level which was 1760 for my height/weight but it seems as if even with eating lots of fats and proteins and staying at or below 20g net, I'm starving. I am just starting (day 2) but I had always taken the "if you're hungry, eat acceptable foods) approach. But between MFP and my fitbit, I'm constantly seeing that I'm going over calories and it bothers me a little bit. I'm 28 and have never needed to count calories while doing Atkins in the past, though I know that I may need to watch them closer as I hit goal but do you watch your calories during Induction? I love Atkins but the combo of low carb and lower calorie, I'm hungry

EDIT: Please don't come on here and post "forget Atkins, just use MFP to calorie count and watch macros. I've done that... I've tried low calorie, I've done high protein, low carb. Atkins is the ONLY plan I have success on and that's just how it is for me. My doctors OK Atkins and I enjoy eating this way (when I don't focus on calories that is, right now I'm miserable and hungry!) and I'm not going to change back to something that I don't like. Thanks for respecting my choice. (posted because I see too many people get bashed for their lifestyle choice and I'm not dealing with that).
