Be careful not to make things too difficult, or you'll drive yourself nuts!! I'm doing induction right now, too, and using Fitday for carb counting, and I find that if I stick to the basic foods (eggs, meat, cheese and salad greens), and enjoy plenty of full-fat dressing on those greens, my fat calories end up at about 70% quite naturally without my having to manipulate them in any way. (Fitday calculates these percentages for you, by the way -- just look at the chart at the top of your food screen.)
I think Dr. Atkins made a point of getting enough fat because so many people actively try to avoid it thinking that this will help their weight loss. So eat enough and don't avoid fat (eat the skin on your chicken, use full-fat dressing, etc.) and you should be fine.
