Not sure what you are asking
If you are doing the Atkins diet and if you are doing Atkins induction your carb percentage will probably be around 5 for the two first weeks.
Usually we talk about a fat percentage between 60-75 depending a bit on how many calories you need each day.
Hope your diet is going great.

How can you keep carbs at 5% when a person needs 15 net carbs per day?
Oh maybe you meant 15 not 5 typeo error.
