What's your macros?

Tossing a feeler out to see what everyone's doing for macros either in % or in numbers. If you do something different for bulking or cutting also specify.

For myself
Weight 185lb TDEE 3400 averaged
For cutting:
2770 calories
210g protein 30%
280g carbs 40%
90g fats 30%

Bulking:
3860 calories
200g protein 20%
540g carbs 55%
100g fats 25%

Some things differ depending on where I am in a cut or bulk but that's about what I start with then go from there. I cut more carbs week by week cutting if I stall and I add more protein week by week if I stall bulking. For my reverse diet out of a cut I add 10g protein everyday until I'm at my TDEE calorie value then from there on I minus 10g protein and replace it with carbs until I get back down to 1g per lb of BW for protein.
 
224lbs as of just now
TDEE: not sure, 4500ish

For cutting: 3500-4000 calories
Would have to dig up old macros, but something like:
Carbs: the rest
Fat: 150ish
Protein: 250ish

Currently bulking on:
Calories: 6388
Carbs: 678
Fat: 308
Protein: 278

I have to go high fat with this many calories. I've tried it with 1000g of carbs a day and felt awful and bloated.
 
At 178 I found my TDEE to be about 2800...

Currently looking to slowly gain, maybe .5 a week

2800 cals
P- 245
C- 280
F- 78
It's my first real go at macros so I'm adjusting as I go.
 
Right now cutting and carb cycling so depends on the day but about 2100 cals, 300g protein minimum. Carbs and fats are split. I go med carb, low carb, low carb, low carb, no carb, no carb, high carb.

Med is around 200g carbs
Low is 100g
No carbs is only trace from veggies about 20g
High carb is 325g
 
Bulking is 2.25 x bw in protein, carbs are only on lifting days @ about 1-1.5x bw all around workout with most after and fats make up the rest, usually cycle cals like +40% on lifting days and +10% on non lifting days but that all depends on number of lifting days. All on lean gains if schedule.

I follow daunte trudal and martin berkhams advice.
