    This is different for everyone. I personally shoot for 50 carb 30 protein 20 fat. But someone who is less active may be 40 30 30

    I'm sorry but what are macros? It sounds like the fat, carbs, fiber, protein, is that correct?

    I'm at 45, 35, 20 - though I'm rethinking upping my fats a little.

    There is no place that will tell you what it 'should' be. Everyone is different depending on your lifestyle, what you are trying to achieve, if you are lifting etc.. There are a bunch of threads around here:

    http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/654536-in-place-of-a-road-map-2-0-revised-7-2-12 this one explains things well. We're all pursuing lifestyle changes..there's more to it than just cutting calories. Threads like the above will help explain things such as macros and how many calories you really aught to be eating and that MFP goals don't work for everyone.
