In the newbie section I just read a post about the calorie requirements. One of the members emailed the Atkins Center and the reply was that calorie intake should be 10x-12x your goal weight. Seems way different then what some think. I guess maybe I should email them, too just so I know its real. I've been sitting here wondering how I could get more calories in. (I'm on day 6 of induction and the past two days I've been so uninterested in food.) Then find out I'm doing fine.
