What is an ideal p/c/f ratio?

My current ratio is 25/45/30 with 245/402/127.

I dont like ratios as they dont as accurately reflect what your body actually needs.

Instead I would suggest this:

Find out how many cals you want to eat.

Set your protein intake at 1.5-2.0g/lbm
Set your carbohydrate intake at 2.0-2.5 g/lbm
Subtract the calories from protein and carbs from total calories and divide by 9 to get your grams of fat.

This way you are basing your protein and carb intake on what your body actually REQUIRES instead of on a ratio.

I basically already did that, I just wanted to know if my ratio was adequate for bulking.
