Recently rededicated myself to fitness and I'm trying to do this the "right" way. For the first time I am going to eat according to my macros any suggestions?

Figure out what "right" means. The right way is what's right for you. For weight management, a body of your sex, size and activity level, needs a certain amount of calories per day. For physical health, it needs a certain amount of a range of nutrients every day. For mental health, you need food you like, that you can afford, eaten at times that fits into your day, and corresponds with your ethical values, culture and tradition, and any other social norms you might subscribe to, while at the same time feel free to make your own food choices.
MFP's default macro setup, and any other setup for that matter, is just a suggestion. The default is a good starting point, but so is your current diet. Because you are the one who has to live with whatever setup you choose.6 -

The "right" way is the way that is sustainable for you and something that you can do for a lifetime. If that's eating to your macros then go for it. A great source is the Macros Inc Facebook page. There is tons of great information and people willing to help1

While individual preferences play into it as others have suggested, nutrition really is a thing, so it's a decent idea to start with reasonable evidence-based targets and tweak for personal needs/preferences from there, within reason.1
