Depends a little on what your objectives are for your cycle. I am guessing your trying to bulk some.

You need as a rule somewhere in the vicinty of 1.5 grams to 2 grams of protein per pound of bodyweight and seeing as your going on cycle then typically closer to the 2 grams would be best. This means somewhere around 400grams of Protein which is a lot to get consumed daily. This equates to 1600 calories from Protein. Keeping with your total calories this then leaves us with 1900 remaining. Fats should generally be around 20% so this would be 700 calories, leaving us with 1200 for Carbs. So these macros are Protein 46%, Carbs 34% and Fats 20%.

My advice here would be to up your total calories if you are trying to bulk based on above. Somewhere around 4500-5000 unless you have a pretty placid lifestyle.
