Meant to add, Jake, maybe you SHOULD up your calories. Dr. A says never go hungry. You're at the minimum 10x your goal weight. I'd go up to 12 x your goal weight.

Some people even use the 10-12x current weight and still lose well, though that was not my experience.

I didn't really think about calories at all in the first month. Focus on keeping carbs low, and eat until you are satisfied. Otherwise, it will be much harder to stick to plan. You have time to assess calories later if you feel you are not losing as you would like.
