I'm 25 years old, 5'10'', 180 lbs
I'm looking to cut down slowly. So I'm planning on eating about 2400 calories.
Which looks more correct?
a.) 180g protein/180g carbs/107g fat
b.) 240g protein/120g carbs/107g fat
c.) 180g protein/300g carbs/53g fat
In the end all of them equate to 2400 calories which I think is the most important.
But which of them is the best to maximize muscle gains/retention and fat loss?

Calculate your maintenance calories... Figure if its actually correct by monitoring it for a couple of weeks ... then reduce 500 calories from it to lose about 1 lb per week..
as for macros .. aim for:
0.4g of fat per lb
1g of protein per lb
and fill the rest with carbs or whichever macro nutrient you prefer
That's the short version .. for a better, comprehensive version, take a look at the stickies..
