Assuming you're off cycle bc you didn't mention it. 1-1.2g/lb BW in protein .3-.4g/lb BW in dietary fat These are your minimum essential requirements. The remaining calories can be anything (carbs, protein, fat, a combo of all) but many will find intensity is best sustained with higher carb content. The actual foods you eat are determined by you since we don't know what you have allergies to or can't stand eating. A diet based primarily off whole and minimally processed foods will usually be best but this doesn't mean others foods have to be eliminated if they help dietary adherence.
