Doing Atkins diet, induction phase. I just completed today's food diary & my fat has come to 98. My daily goal shows 40. Does it get that high on this diet?

    Yes, and 98 isn't all that high actually for a LCHF diet. My daily fat goal is 138g (75% of calories from fat)

    80g- 100g are fairly normal, might be worth using Custom goal setting to put your macros at 5% carbs, 20% protein and 75% fat or thereabouts (steps are 5%)

    40 is too low....not sure HOW you figured that as a goal. Fat should be generally 55-60% of calories.
