I like to follow a 40/40/20 ratio, so in order to eat enough calories, you need to eat the following amount of macros:
1600 calories: 160g protein, 160g carbs, 35g fat 1800 calories: 180g protein, 180g carbs, 40g fat 2250 calories: 225g protein, 225g carbs, 50g fat 2700 calories: 270g protein, 270g carbs, 60g fat 3150 calories: 315g protein, 315g carbs, 70g fat
If you read other nutrition threads, and decide that a 40/40/20 split is right for you, to determine the number of grams of carbs and protein that you need, just determine the total number of calories that you want to consume and then divide by ten.
