Hi, welcome back!  The fat intake, in grams, depends on the number of calories you have. In percentages however, you should aim for 65% fat, 5% carbs and 30% protein during induction. As you climb up the rungs, the protein percentage stays the same, while fat gradually decreases leaving place for more carbs.

Since I am eating around 1200 calories, I can tell you that 65% means about 85 g of fat. However, a small change in grams can mess up the percentages because there are a lot of calories in 1 g of fat. If you use a website such as FitDay, DailyPlate or NutritionData they tell you the percentages without you having to compute anything. The links to them are below: FitDay - Free Weight Loss and Diet Journal Calorie Counter, Diet Tracking, Food Journal, Nutrition Facts at The Daily Plate Nutrition facts, calories in food, labels, nutritional information and analysis – NutritionData.com

But by those calculations I should be on only 15 grams of carbs per day??? Aughh! This is why I struggle with Atkins...it makes no sense and there is no way I can live on 15 carbs per day

hahaha. You should have up to 20 g of net carbs if you are on induction. But really, it's not so difficult. Let's see if I can put up a tasty induction menu. **************** Breakfast: 2 eggs fried in 1 tbsp of butter 3 thin slices of low-sodium bacon 1 cup mushrooms (raw or cooked) 2 oz cream cheese mixed with 1 tbsp sour cream Lunch: 2 chicken drumsticks 1 cup salad (1/3 red leaf lettuce, 1/3 cucumber slices, 1/3 red sweet pepper) with 1/2 tbsp olive oil and 1/2 red wine vinegar Snack: 1 cheese stick (1 oz) Dinner: 6.5 oz (1 regular can) tuna with mayo 1/2 cup boiled zucchini 1/2 cup spinach covered in garlic butter sauce (2 cloves of garlic sauteed in 1 tbsp butter) 1 oz cheese **************** The totals for this menu are: 1545 calories 112 g fat (64%) 23.8 g total carbs (6%) 17.4 g net carbs 111.8 g protein (30%) **************** Don't worry about calories. I don't know what your height/weight is, but on Atkins you can eat more calories than on a low fat diet. You should in fact eat close to your BMR. The link to a BMR calculator is below: BMR Calculator

Hi, I am eating between 60-75% fat. This works out at about 139g fat. A lot. I have found that if I up my fat content, I lose more weight (keeping carbs to 20g). I am just starting OWL rung 1 and am going to really try to get my fat to 60-65%.
