    Approximately 1g/lb lean mass in protein as a minimum target
    .35g/lb bodyweight in fat as a minimum target

    Remainder of calories to be split to preference among P/F/C.

    As for total calorie intake, that's up to you and your current physique. Small surplus to build mass, small deficit if you'd still like to lean out.
