    25% carbs, 30% proteins, 45% fats = 2500 calories during cut. Sometimes I'll have higher carbs depending on what types of snacks I eat.

    I try to follow Hal Higdon's marathon training plan since I run a lot and do want to train for a marathon eventually: 15% to 20% protein, 30% fat and 50% to 55% carbs...it seems to work for me, but everyone is a unique individual and what works for one, won't for another... :)

    C 40%, P 40%, and fat 20%....but I like a high protein diet so its all good! I try to stick to complex carbs and the natural carbs from fruits and veggies. Works for me..

    What I did was set my macros to the minimums that I need to meet for Protein and Fat and put the rest as carbs. My cals are also set on TDEE so I have a good estimate of my actual deficit as opposed to the deficit from an already lower intake.

    So really the only macros that are accurate for me are 25% of TDEE Protein and 35% of TDEE in fat... when in all reality that is actually 138g protein and 86g of fat which I usually meet or exceed and fill in the rest with carbs (up to 1500-1700 calories total).

    Exactly the same macros as I am set to.

    My daily calorie goal is 1898.

    In grams, these are my macro goals every day:

    Carbs: 214 grams

    Fat: 74 grams

    Protein: 95 grams.

    I aim for 0.8-1g of protien per pound of lean body mass, that's 79-99g for me.
    For fat I try to get 0.35 per pound of body weight, that's 47g.
    The rest I fill in with carbs.

    It generally works out to about 58/23/19. I have my MFP goals set to 55/25/20 because they only go in increments of 5%, so I always see red in carbs. I'm cool with that, me and carbs are good friends.

    I have 40c/30f/30p as my nominal goal.

    As long as I hit my protein grams and I have a deficit I really don't care where the rest land.

    40C/30F/30P

    But since doing more weight lifting, it's been looking more like this:

    30C/30F/40P

    amazing how everyone has nice round numbers. Is this what you wish your ratios to be or are you hitting everything balls on?

    My past 2 months:

    C - 43
    F - 26
    P - 31

    my macro goals don't change daily. They are set ...I don't always hit them spot on. Had sushi for dinner Thursday night so carbs and protein were over but fat was really low.

    I just hit 120-150g of protein daily then fill in the rest.
