Age 28 male

BMI: 25%

I have never worked out or dieted ever in my life.

I've got my workout plan but the dieting is confusing. My TDEE is about 2400 calories so I am going to increase to 2700 calories. How much carbohydrates/protein/fat do I need?

Woah whoa whoa..... hold on cowboy. 25% bodyfat you shouldn't be in a surplus of calories. Between the calculators being inaccurate for many people and the absolute possibility that your calorie counting and tracking will be off you could really paint yourself in a corner right off. If you're serious about getting help do 2 things

1) Read the stickies

2) post a pic of yourself shirtless.

If your TDEE is 2400 calories (from an online calculator), then you should be eating no more than about 1900 calories.
