Here is information to help your tracking:
BMR Calculator Cronometer
Calculating Macros:
Activity Factors

Little to no exercise, desk Job= bmr x 1.2
Light exercise, trains 1-3 days weekly = bmr x 1.375
moderate activity, trains 3-5 days weekly = bmr x 1.55
Very active, trains 6-7 days weekly = bmr x 1.725
extremely active, 2x days OR physically intense job= bmr x 1.9

TDEE (Total Daily Energy Expenditure)= BMR x Activity Factor

Maintenance Calories: Aprox TDEE
Fat Loss Phase Calories: TDEE x 10-15% Calorie Deficit.
Calculate your Protein: Lean Weight x 1-1.5= Grams of Protein OR Goal weight in Grams
Calculate your Fat: 25-30% of your goal Calories, Fat cals/9= Grams of Fat
Calculate your Carbs: Calories From Protein + Calories from Fat= FAT/Protein Cals

Goal Cals- Fat/Pro cals= Calories from Carbohydrates

Calories from Carbohydrates/4= Goal Gram of Carbohydrates.
