    Just set up your profile here at mfp, choose an appropriate rate of loss, and mfp will give you a calorie goal.

    If you're averaging 15000 steps per day, set yourself to active.

    Macro % is mostly personal preference. I started with the MFP defaults and looked at fat and protein as minimums to exceed and let carbs fall where they may.

    This may help you chose an appropriate rate of loss, which will give you your calories per day:
