    I don't know how to answer this.

    Eat food. Log it. If you miss your goals, adjust from there.

    That's a weird setup, looks unbalanced, hard to make into acceptable meals, unless you're willing to replace a meal with protein powder.

    If my calculations are correct, that's about 40% protein, 45% fat, and 15% carbs. Very, very difficult to achieve eating 'normal' foods/meals. I agree that protein supplementation is probably going to necessary if you truly intend to eat within these macros. And I guess lots of oils, butter, and fattier cuts of meat.

    ETA, and lower carb veggies/leafy greens to cover as many micronutrients as possible.

    Thanks, but the ratio is 53% protein, 26% fat and 21% carbs.

    I was also surprised to have so much fat, I don't normally eat that much unless I'm eating junk.

    Gotcha. That's actually not terribly high in fat. Lower in carb than I eat, though, so I'm not much help with meal ideas!

    26% isn't really a lot. I usually get between 30-35%

    I didn't work the numbers, but try making a cobb salad (lettuce, tomato, grilled chicken, hard boiled egg, bacon, avocado, blue cheese, dressing of choice). It's my go to meal when I need a lot of protein, a moderate amount of fat and a modest amount of carbs.

    Probably looks high to me as the calorie allowance is higher than what I'm used to and I thought it would be higher in carbs.
