There's a metabolic advantage with the Atkins diet, where by eating less carbs (under 20g), you actually burn more calories. Calories do count on low carb - they just count differently. One way it happens is that your body uses up calories converting protein into glucose for your energy source...with carbs you are providing your body the glucose right away.

Calories on Atkins could be getting wasted as the protein is being converted to glucose or they could be going to building muscle or to generate heat from the increased metabolism.

Hope this helps!
