    Are my macros correct?

    Hi, Im a 24 yr old male 5'9 190. Im stocky but trying to lose about twenty lbs. I workout with heavy weights about 3-4 times a week and play basketball for a few hours twice a week. Im trying to lose some fat. I'm not too sure on how many calories, protein, fat etc i should get.

    Based on a calorie calculator i found online it says
    Maintenance:
    2536 Calories/day, Fat Loss: 2028 Calories/day


    Im going to try to eat all healthy food/meats. this is what someone advised me. I'm pretty sure it might be wrong but can someone please explain what I need?? thanks

    so for fat (.45x190) 86g
    protein(1.0x190) 190g
    carbs(3gx190) 570g

    well 570g carbs is well over 2000 calories sir...

    86g fat = 774 calories
    protein should be based on lean mass
    roughly 150g = 600 calories

    this leaves you with 626 calories left, or about 156g carbs

    So i should eat 86g of fat, 150 g of protein and 156g of carbs? so how many calories would i need to consume, do the numbers from the calculator seem correct?, sorry im a newbie when it comes to dieting. thanks
