Are you using the Atkins20 on the website to get the 20g net carbs, 15 of which must come from foundation vegetables? That is a crazy amount of fiber depending on the vegetables you choose. Not to worry, Dr Atkins himself, and now Dr Westman, use 20g TOTAL carbs and only ask that you eat 3 cups of vegetables a day. I had the same problem when I started with the on-line rules, but many of us here use the 2002 plan http://forum.lowcarber.org/showthread.php?t=236482 or even the 1972 version.
