protein and carb %'s

i've read somewhere that you need 60% carbs, 25% protein, and 15% fat in your diet...does this sound right? i've heard from many people that you need 1 gram of protein for every pound that you weigh...if this is true i would have to consume HUGE amounts of carbs to get these %'s to work. i use complex carb powder in my protein shakes, is this a good way to get carbs?

CAPS......

FOR WHAT REASON? :unsure:

USUALLY IT'S 1.5 AND ABOVE ACTUALLY. AGAIN DEPENDS ON GOALS.

actually, i read it in one of mike mentzer's books. a lot of people think he's a kook but that's the percentages he reccomended.

Again, recommend for what purpose?
