Eating Healthy Is Not The Main Factor To Good Nutrition
Nowadays, eating healthy means consuming foods low in fat and high in micronutrients; vitamins and minerals.
Indeed foods with vitamins make you have a better health. However, you can eat all the healthy food of the world, but if you don't hit your daily macronutrient; you won't get the results you want. Does it make sense?
In short words; calories are calories. If you want to achieve your fitness goals you will have to first worry about your macronutrients, whether it's with "healthy food" or not. It's pure science!

Daily Calorie Intake For Men
You calorie intake depends on your age, height, gender and how often you exercise weekly. I recommend you to try a calorie calculator.
For a healthy man with a balanced diet, who is moderately active it's recommended to eat between 2300 and 2500 calories. We will start with these numbers.
Converting Percentage To Grams
It's very easy to calcule how many grams you should have for each macronutrient.
First you need to know how many calories contain each macronutrient :
- Carbohydrate: 4 Calories per gram
- Protein: 4 Calories per gram
- Fats: 9 Calories per gram
Then, let's take 2500 calories as an example and our macronutrient ratio for maintaining weight:
- 35% Carbohydrate -> 2500 x 0.35 / 4 = 218.7g
- 35% Protein -> 2500 x 0.35 / 4 = 218.7g
- 30% Fat -> 2500 x 0.3 / 9 = 83.3g
