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.
