Goal settings for Atkins

Does anyone know what grams (fat protein) to set MFP goals to if you are on the induction phase of Atkins?

About 80g of protein perhaps. The Atkins book has a table based on height.

20g of carbs (strictly net carbs) is 80 cals or 5% of a 1600 calorie intake

So something like 35% Protein, 5% Carbs, 60 % Fats in the custom goal settings.

But... MyFitnessPal will not count NET carbs. You have to subtract your fiber grams from your carb grams yourself.
