What is the correct percentages of Proteins, Carbs and Fats to eat?

What is the correct percentage of protein, fat, and carbohydrate that I should be consuming?
There isn’t a “perfect” ratio for everyone. This, like your caloric requirements are different for each individual.  More important are the recommendations or ranges set forth by The American Dietetic Association.  The recommendations for each of the macronutrients of total calorie intake are as follows:
                   Carbohydrates: 45-65%
                   Protein: 15-25%
                   Fat: 10-30%

Your Weight Loss Coach will specify where you end up in the range based on your caloric needs, appetite and type/amount of movement.
These %’s may differ slightly day to day and on training and non-training days.  There is no one magical formula.
