Please Scroll Down to See Forums Below 60 carbs 20 protein and 20 fats , is this diet good for somebody who is looking to perform their best? I was thinking of following it but since the carb intake is higher than protein I thought it might be for person looking to do competitions like me, I want to do Crossfit and Spartan run stuff, what's your opinion on this guys? thanks.

I keep mine very simple but it varies from person to person. I like to do 1.5g protein per lb body weight and just make up the rest of the calories with carbs and fat. I will have more carbs on heavy days like legs and less on rest days or low intensity days. The key for me is to be at my total calories for the day.
I am not sure which macro calculator you used but at first glance, the protein intake seems very low. It's certainly not optimal for someone with physique goals like bodybuilding.
Watch this video I made where I explain how to calculate your calorie, carb, protein and fat requirements based on your goals -> https://www.evolutionary.org/forums...s/nutrition-101-carbs-proteins-fat-46427.html
A rough estimate to determine how many calories you need is to multiply your body weight (in pounds) by 15. That will give you the amount of calories needed to maintain your current body weight. If your goal is to gain weight, multiply your body weight by 17-18. If your goal is to loose weigh, multiply your body weight by 12-13.
For example, a 200 pound person would need 3000 calories to maintain his weight (200 x 15 = 3000).
Once you have determined your calorie needs. Set your protein intake. A good number to shoot for is:
1-1.5 grams of protein/pound of body weight for natural athletes
1.5-2grams of protein/pound of body weight for enhance athletes
Once you have set your protein intake, fill the rest of your calorie intake with carbohydrates and fat.
