Ian, the number of grams is not going to be the same for everyone. If I eat more calories than you then I'll have more fat grams than you do just because of the amount of food I eat. What you should focus on are the percentages.
Aim for 65-70% of your calories from fat. 100g for you is kinda low, BTW. 100g x 9 calories a gram is 900 calories. If 70% of your calories is 900 calories that doesn't leave much for protein and carbs. In other words, you're eating too little
Atkins recommends the following ratios / percentages during induction:
65-70% fat
25-30% protein
the rest will be carbs.
These percentages will change as you add in more carbs and decrease your fat in Maintenance.
