Ratio Question...%Protein/%Fat/%Carbs

I just finished Atkins Induction. I lost 4 pounds in 14 days...not what I had hoped for, but I'll take it.

I just went to Fitday.com to enter my daily intake, and I was shocked by the %Fat. Don't worry, I'm getting plenty of calories!

I'm doing Atkins, but I'm not against trying a hybrid LC method, if needed. For you guys who are having success, my question is what ratios of Fat/Protein/Carbs do you strive for each day and/or each meal?

My average current ratio with about 2200 calories/day looks like this:

68.5% Fat : 30% Protein : 1.5% Carbs

Should I make some adjustments? Lower my calories? Lower the fat?
