If you are hungry, eat it. If you are not, don't. Yes, we can eat more calories when we are low carbing because our body burns fat less efficiently than it burns carbohydrates. However, if you pig out on steak -- eating it beyond the point where you are hungry -- you will consume too many calories and stop or slow down your weight loss.

Most people don't need to count calories on Atkins, but calories do count. Eat when you are hungry and stop eating when you are full. Sometimes that will mean eating a huge steak and sometimes it will mean stopping after 4 or 5 ounces.

I hope you enjoy low carbing as much as I have!
