I got my macro calculations from @mealplan(this site's mealplan) and put protein at 2 and fat at 0.55, it said I should try to eat:
calories: 2163
protein: 151grams
fat: 41grams
carbs:297grams

So maybe something like...

Right on man, just make sure it is quality most of the time, but enjoy yourself at your age too, you can probably get away with eating a few more things that are 'bad' haha. But yeah try to make it mostly good choices 💪
