This is probably going to be a divisive question, but how can I work out what my ideal dietary breakdown would be. I'd like to know what the 'gold medal' diet for me would be so I know where I'm aiming.

That depends on what you want to accomplish...

As long as you are getting sufficient protein and fat, your macro balance is just down to your personal preference.
The best macro balance for you is one that keeps you satiated and fits with the way you like to eat.1 -
^This was the post that I used to set my macros and I think it's a great starting place. Keep in mind that there is no One Perfect macro split. Your personal preferences and needs matter.1
