Hi blaze,
If u refers to Wikipedia, it mentions that carbohydrate and protein is a macronutrient of fat. Means it also belong to a fat group. All the access energy that u consume daily will be stored in your body as fat. Fat is good for your body though..(is it a myth..? u  can refer to http://artery.sportsandgamestuff.com/fat_myth.html)
So u cannot blindly follow the 40/40/20 = carbs/protein/fat because it is to general, maybe our friend alien could share what his view on this.

Carbs
As u knows carbs has two category; simple and complex. U can take more complex one in the morning and a simple one before exercise for example.

Protein
Even though protein is good, not all sources are good for men. Try to avoid protein from soya bean due to its estrogen content. Even chicken breast is good source of protein, eating too much chicken will be not good as well since I think all commercial chicken have been induced by estrogen to speed up their growth. Estrogen will make u look more rounded while testosterone will make u more muscular.

Fat 
Not all fat are bad. The good one for example is fish oil which contains omega 3 and EPA. There is also a fat which is good to break your fat storage and it is called conjugated linoleic acid.
*
Carbs and proteins are different from fat, their chemical composition and monomers are completely different (although they have slight similarities)

It's fine to consume soya bean, yes it does have phytoestrogen,but that doesn't affect us much in any way. You would probably need a serving as much as a swimming pool if you were to see effects (which I believe it does not have any significant effects on us). As for the chicken , it's a myth. Check it out somewhere in lowyat,they made a discussion before .

That's wrong. There are 3 major macronutritient which are carbs / protein / fat. Just because having excess energy from eating carbs & protein turns them into fat, doesn't mean that it belongs to fat macronutritient.

If you can provide the link to that wikipedia page, it would be nice but do note that wikipedia sources are not that credible.

I could be wrong..but here u go...

u are right as well brother..i do consume soy bean and chicken. the bottom line is don't overdo it. i did a few experiment to myself and i consider i am the test subject. different test subject has different reaction on certain diet. Just to share my experience on my two diet and exercise regime. The first one is i consume soy milk every day to increase my protein intake. I did that for a year than i try to change by not taking soy milk at all or anything that might induce estrogen, in addition to that i do take nuprep(u can google it) which claim can increase the testosterone level. I also increase the squat and lunges exercise which also said to increase ur testosterone level. By doing so, I found that i can get the result faster and better when i increase the testosterone.

not to say which is right or wrong, just to share what is works for me. in my age of 35, having a same great body with those in 20s is a blessing..just my two cents.

Myself right now religiously going to the gym 3 times a week doing various cardio exercise that involves total body training. My aim is to reduce at least 10kg of my weight. Its works for the first 3 weeks where I manage to reduce 3kg however it went stagnant till now. What happened to my body actually?
I don't really control the food intake, i just cut my usual portion to half everytime I eat and try to reduce amount of carbs. I don't like starving.

I have the same situation like yours before this.My weight was stagnant between 79kg - 80kg for couple of week.

But i still continue my usual cardio workout consist of 1 hour threatmill (running) + 20 mins eliptica (2 set) + 45 min various weight lifting. (4 time per weeks in the gym)

My weight as of yesterday is 76.3kg (Originally was 95.6kg). I keep reminding myself over and over again that i have to achieve my target weight of 72kg.

Just a reminder that you need to tweak your diet to fit your new body weight. The lighter you are, the less you need to eat.

My started weight is 82kg, now cut down to 73kg. Waist went down from 40 inches to 34 inches now. Total of 4 months proper nutrition and training. Not losing muscle mass but instead I gained it.

How to keep myself motivated? Look at the mirror, feels good when you see body changed better every week. My goal is to reach 70kg with 32 inches of waist before I start to bulk again.

I started count calories intake on July last year and manage to lost 15KG until now, running for 3 km to 5 km every morning 6 days per week before go for work. During this time I manage to lost 10KG and my weight not going down after that.

On Dec 2014 I follow atkins diet phase 1 for 1 week and manage to lost 5 KG, I take extreme fat burner and predator fat burner since I start my diet program but it's really hard to lose my belly fat and body fat even though I still running 3 km to 5 km 6 days per week.

I started using Ripped Freak on Dec and it' really help me to cut my body fat. For Belly fat I try simple core exercises that I found on youtube since last week , get rid sugar on my diet (using stevia only), eat carb only for lunch and I started lose my belly fat hehe.

Height: 171CM
Before diet: 80KG
Right now: 65KG
Waist: Went down from 34 inches to 30 inches
Cardio and core exercises: Running for 3KM to 5KM 6 days per week, plank, side plank, bicycle crunch, reverse crunch, jumping squats and mountain climbers
Current Fat Burner: Ripped freak

We , some of us , are IIFYM-ers. Meaning we eat anything we like , as long as it hits our macros and targeted calories (for weight loss / gain) and still manage to hit our goals.

im fairly new to this so i might need to read up on what does macros and more technical terms. i use to be a a university basketball with mostly fast paced agility drills and weight and core training. Do i follow on those routines or do i need to set new routines seeing im no longer a basket ball player?

Honestly , the routine and all is up to you . What matter most is the diet plan, use this link to find out your required calories. It gives an approximate value
