Lets start a list of well balanced macro foods. I need ideas as I'm sure others do once a particular macro has been reached, and others need catching up.
For me, a well balanced macro food if you've met your carbs for the day is a large egg X any number.
Macros for one Lg egg:
(cal - 70, P - 6, F - 5, carb - 0)
Also almonds for fat:
1/2 cup
(cal - 408, P - 15, F - 35, carb - 35)
Pretty basic and obvious ones, but lets see what others eat for balance.

I think he failed on his thread title.
I believe what he meant was, if you have not reached a certain macro for the day, these foods will help you reach that goal.
Unfortunately, there are much better options than eggs or nuts.
Por ejemplo: Pasta for carbs, lean meat for protein, olive oil for fat.
I could be wrong but I really don't know wtf is going on in here.I achieve nutritional fortitude by a method which shall not be named, lest the peasants learn to read.

Not sure why you'd need a thread for that.
There are a billion web sites out there that list the most common sources of PROTEIN, FAT, and CARBS.

This is more of the traditional "balanced" definition...
I have a bowl of chili over noodles almost every day. Great source of all three macros. Its just 1lb ground beef with 1 can of diced tomatoes, 1 can of kidney beans, and a chili spice mix. I'll usually make three meals out of it. 1/3 of a recipe plus 1/8 a box of noodles comes out to:
584 cals/13.6g fat/75.6g carbs/43.3g protein
If you take the noodles out and just eat the chili, it's...
413 cals/12.5g fat/36.6g carbs/37.6g protein
Either way, it's goddamned delicious.My guilty pleasure: excessive cardio.
Progress towards the 1000 lb club: 945/1000
Bulking until I hit 1000. I don't care if it takes a 40 pound weight gain. No more pussyfooting around.

I balance my macros on my plate. Carbs at 5, Veggies at 7, Protein at 12 (on the plate, that is). Then I drizzle Fat across the top. I had a perfect example, but can't find it...
Short term Goal: To cut back before bulking like a demon.
Mid term Goal: To find myself.
Long term Goal: To get what's mine.
67 lbs in 9 years and still counting... (started at 100lbs)
It's a hater's job to hate. So let them hate...
