    I'm sure there are many schools of thought. I had great success with eating roughly 1.2g of protein per kilogram of body weight and filling the remaining budget with carbs. I don't worry about fat - it comes naturally from the meat I consume. In general it's roughly a 40:40:20 split. I combine it with weight training though, I'm not sure if it would work the same if your routine is different.

    There are none.

    Weight loss comes from consistently taking in an appropriate amount of calories.

    But a good diet (including a good balance of macronutrients) can make adhering to an appropriate amount of calories easier. What is balanced, will vary quite a lot from person to person. Start with MFP's default and pay attention to how you feel - are you satisfied, energetic, happy? If so, don't mess with it. If something is off, adjust.
