    It depends on your goals. Do you want to go high protein for weight training or high carb for endurance training?

    Mine are set at 50% carbs, 30% fat, 20% protein. If you enter your own details into MFP it will give you goal macros - you can then adjust these to suit your own training plan.

    Losing weight is about eating fewer calories than your body uses.

    Macros can be adjusted depending upon your goals but a wide range of macros will work.

    MFP gives everyone 50% carbs, 20% protein, and 30% fat. That can work just fine. Another popular macro mix is 40% carbs, 30% protein, and 30% fat.

    Macros are a pretty individual thing...
