What the average human adult needs for a healthy diet is 30% protein, 30% fat, and 40% carbohydrates (starches and sugars). Of course there are many debates about what constitutes the most wholesome of these nutrients, but that is another story altogether. There is also talk about vitamins, minerals, and micronutrients, I leave this portion oif my answer to debate.

Around 30% protein if you work out. If you are trying to build muscle, maybe even 35-40%. If you are trying to lose body fat, try 20% fat, 40% carbs, and 40% protein. If you do a lot of cardio, you might need more carbs, but you don't need more than 30% fat.

30% for protein, 30% for healthy fats and 40% for carbs. If you are trying to gain muscle or lean out you can add more protein and subtract from your carbs.
