Unlike on low-calorie diets, on Atkins you are not supposed to eat a certain number of calories. Eat if you are hungry or have gone 6 hours without eating and eat until you are satisfied but not stuffed.  During Induction, you should aim for 65% fat, 5% carbs, 30% protein. Of course, the percentages can't be spot on every day -- some day you might have a little more fat, some day you might have a little more protein or carbs. Don't sweat over them unless you are totally off.
__________________ "The truth is that temptation lurks everywhere, unless you deny yourself a social and working life and the attendant pleasures of eating out. I believe that the best way to overcome temptation is not with willpower, which is so often in short supply, but with our brain power, a potentially unlimited resource. Imagine that you're doing great, losing weight, feeling better than ever, thrilled with yourself, hearing compliments from friends and acquaintances---and then it happens! Despite all your good intentions, you're mightily tempted by a food you're not supposed to have. What to do? I'll tell you this: You'd better have a strategy ready!"

Georgia is absolutely right, however, if I have found I need to be mindful of calories as well or I don't lose. My guess is your BMR is around 1800. I would try to keep around 2000 a day. 2600 Sounds like a lot of calories. One of the hardest things is to teach yourself to tune in on whether or not you are really hungry vs. just wanting to eat something. I expect if you start paying attention you will find you are eating even when you really are not hungry. At 2200 a day I stop losing even if I am exercising. Could be I have a pitifully low metabolism. Just something to be mindful of if it starts interfering.

You are welcome. I actually don't count calories (I do see what they are at the end of the day so I can notice any trends) but have started actively training myself figure out if I am hungry or if I just want to eat something. I have been amazed to find that if I leave the table just a bit before I feel full, I am often fine 15 minutes later and no longer wanting to eat more. If I am still hungry 30 mins. later then maybe I will have a little something else. Usually that doesn't happen now. I find by doing this I usually range between 1700 and 1900 a day anyway without counting. My tough time is still about 9 at night. Haven't conquered wanting that nightly snack, but I am working on it.
