    fat - 20%
    carbs - 35%
    protein - 45%

    It also depends on your body...you can. If you are feeling weak, increase your carbs. It's tough be within the macros everday but try not to go over 30 on fat. The fat may increase based on your consumption of almonds or olive oil, etc, but those are good fat.

    Fat 20-30%
    Protein 25%-45%
    Carbs 30%-50%

    I'd find a comfortable ratio somewhere in there.
