Proper Macronutrient %s

[MaxJ]

I've looked around the various threads on this but never saw anything like a definitive answer or even a consensus. On Fitday I usually end up with something like 35% protein/fat and 30% carbs in a given day, but eating pretty clean. Does this strike anyone as a problem? Especially when considering trying to achieve some degree of fat loss. I know Mehdi calls for 40% protein/carbs and 20% fat but I have problems a) getting that much fat without dubious processed carb sources (mostly whole wheat bread that probably is chock full of enriched flour) and b) finding protein sources that aren't also fairly fatty (eg I eat a lot of eggs b/c I'm on the early morning shift and the chow hall puts that stuff out).

Sorry to rez a dead thread, but does anyone have an answer to this question? I searched the forums as well and couldn't find a good discussion on this subject. I'm currently taking a break from lifting and using this time to get my rest and my diet in order.

What's a good macro-nutrient ratio for somebody who is:
1) Trying build muscle while minimizing bodyfat gains
2) Not ready to go balls to the wall anabolic diet

Also, doesn't consuming 40% carbs conflict with only consuming carbs post workout? What about none workout days? What about people that lift later? Wouldn't it need to be a pretty calorific meal then?
