Help! Best macro calculator?

What do you think the most accurate macro calculator is? I feel like they all vary so much!

Crap, never mind.. I posted a TDEE calculator, not a macro one.

Scooby and IIFYM seem to be pretty spot on

Good way to do it is to aim for .8 g/lb of goal weight for protein (this approximates a number around 1 g/lb of LBM), .35 g (or more) per lb for fat, and the rest carbs. What the percentages are depend on total calories.

Here's a thread worth reading if you want more information: http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/819055/setting-your-calorie-and-macro-targets/p1

^Was coming here to post the same link. I found a lot of success with it and I think it explains things better and gives you more room for adjustment than some of the macro calculators out there.
