Best way to set this for Atkins?

I just started Atkins today. I started low carb last week, but didn't go for Atkins because I thought it would be too hard. Then I saw how awesome I felt and decided to jump into Atkins so today is day one of induction for me. This site is pretty cool IMO especially because it's free, but it seems like it's hard to set up the goals properly for Atkins. Can you manually enter goals instead of using %s? It also says if you met your goal or not based on calories when I'm not overly concerned about calories like I am with carbs. I'd rather have my goals focus on the carbs. I already got the script for net carbs which is a big help.

I just adjusted the carb % until it was close to the gram limit I needed. MFP will automatically adjust the protein and fat % (increases it) as your change the carbs. It will also allow you to select the macronutrients you want to follow but I don't think you can remove calories.
