Fitday really overestimates calories burned, IMO.
I believe in listening to your body when it comes to calories, unless you are an emotional eater of course. For everyone else, this works just fine. If you are hungry, eat more. If you are not hungry, don't eat. That way the body will self-regulate. You will have some days at lower calories and others at higher. There is no magic number over which you can't lose weight on Atkins. It will depend on your body, activities, and also on how many carbs and carb sources. Many people can eat plenty of calories while maintaining induction-level carbs, but find out they have to decrease calories when they reach pre-maintenance or maintenance level carbs.
