The Attacus Atlas Moth is a member of the Saturnidae Family.

Imagos i.e. adult moths,of the Saturnids have non-functional mouth-parts, meaning that they cannot eat.

Therefore all the energy requirments of the imago are built up by the larval stage i.e. the caterpillar.

This energy is largely stored as fats that pass from the larva through the pupa to the imago.

The answer to the question "How does an Attacus Atlas Moth obtain food?" is, The Attacus Atlas Moth does not obtain food as an adult.
