Your body has minimum proteins and fats it needs.
Protein minimum: 0.7 gram per pound of bodyweight (or target/ideal weight in the obese).
Fat minimum: 0.4 gram per pound of bodyweight (or target/ideal weight in the obese).
Your body has no requirements for carbs; some people do better with higher carb intake and some do better with moderate/low carb intake.
Macronutrient Caloric Value
Protein - 1gram = 4 calories
Carb - 1gram = 4 calories
Fat - 1gram = 9 calories
This may help when figuring your diets.
