So, for clarification regarding caloric intake.

The 40/40/20 diet still holds true regardless of your intention, but some people might not be trying to lose weight. Just as a quick edit, I'll throw in the caloric intake range one should be aiming for if they are trying to lose weight, maintain weight, or gain weight.

Lose weight: desired body weight multiplied by 10 and 12 to find the range.
Maintain weight: desired body weight multiplied by 12 and 13 to find the range.
Gain weight: desired body weight multiplied by 13 and 15 to find the range.

These numbers are pretty accurate, but still MILDLY arbitrary. As always, it's up to you to keep track of your progress and results, and determine what adjustments must be made. Look at these as starting points, and then adjust as necessary.

Good luck ;]
