Step 1- find out your BMR

Don't forget to multiply it by an activity factor using the Harris Benedict formula... the common factor is 1.55 (moderately active)

Start with BMR. Then figure 1.5g protein per pound of lean body mass and then you need at least a minimum 50g of EFA's. Then the rest carbs to get to your daily calorie needs. I would guess about 40-30-30 if maintaining weight and maybe 50-25-25 if cutting. Bulking might be 40-40-20 or even more carbs. I don't think that there is an absolute answer to this question.
