I'm 6'2, currently sitting at 200lbs. I want to cut down to 180 before starting a lean bulk but I find there's some controversy on the amount of macros you should be getting. I hit 180lbs 2 months ago but haven't been following an actual meal plan.

I've also been eating too much in general recently and I'm kind of addicted to protein bars. I've been eating 4-5 a day on top of regular meals so I'm not surprised I am where I am. I'm not buying them anymore for a bit. My gut is starting to pop out a bit too.

Does anyone have a meal plan that they could share? Do some of you just eat healthy and fill the macros? How many of each macro do you stick to?

Also open to any other tips about cutting in general, in regards to food, lifting, or any other habits that you've found beneficial.
