When we’re talking macronutrients, we just can’t ignore the question of daily recommended amounts.

Optimal daily protein intake forms at 0.6-1g of protein per pound of bodyweight.

If you’re someone who’s not training, 0.6g of protein per pound of bodyweight will be enough to sustain healthy functioning and high levels of satiety.

On the other hand, if you’re a more active trainee that has a decent amount of muscle mass, you’d need 0.8-1g of protein per pound of bodyweight, to sustain recovery and balanced inner chemistry.

Optimal daily fat intake on the other hand, forms at 0.35-0.45g per pound of bodyweight.

Experiment with different amounts and see what’s the amount at which you feel well-satiated but not stuffed after your meals.

Finally, carbohydrate intake falls at 3-7g per pound of bodyweight and usually fills up the remaining caloric intake, after protein and fats are calculated (i.e you need 2000 calories. Protein and fats provide 1200 calories and you have 800 calories remaining for carbs. 800 calories are 200g worth of carbs, because carbs have 4 calories per gram (800/4=200)
