Consistency in tracking is so important for making informed adjustments.

It's definitely not a static target. You have to adapt as your body changes and your activity levels fluctuate.

And remember to factor in activity level. Someone who trains intensely will need more carbs than someone doing light cardio.

MacroMancer, I use a TDEE calculator online as a starting point, then subtract 300-500 calories for a deficit. Then I distribute the macros based on those calories.
