Any limit to fat in Atkins diet Phase 1?

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. Fat gets high on Atkins

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.
