Now that you mentioned the fat part that's true. I was going to say carbs = calories. But fat calories = twice as many calories as carbs. I guess on the Atkins diet they just want as few carbs as possible so that your body does go into ketosis and the foods you eat happen to have energy in another method.

Diabetes is an Art, NOT a Science. You must master the control by skills and not by knowledge alone.
