I need a diet that follows these guidelines?

I need a diet for me, that follows these guidelines.

First off I'm 17, 5'9", and 165lbs.

I need to have 5 meals a day with which each one I'm getting approximately:

5-10 g of Fats

30-50 g of Protein

50-75 g of Carbs

I need an idea of what meals like this would be, and if you have any suggestions or better plans let me know.

Thanks

    These guidelines have a focus of macronutrients: fats, proteins, carb. You could achieve these low levels using an extremely healthy whole plant based diet consisting of the following foods:

    + Omega-3 fats: One tablespoon of ground flax seed, some almonds, some walnuts

    + Protein:

    ---Dark leafy greens (kale, collards, chard),

    ---Whole grains (brown rice, quinoa), and

    ---Legumes (beans, lentils, peas)

    + Complex Carbohydrates:

    ---Vegetables (carrots, beats, sweet potatoes)

    You also need to be concerned about the micronutrients: vitamins, minerals, and phytochemicals. Supplements and commercially processed foods seem to be deficient in many of these micronutrients. Fresh whole plant based sources of micronutrients is the only way to get a balance of everything.

    Vitamins, Minerals, phytochemicals:

    --- Fruits (oranges, mangoes, bananas, berries, and so on)

    --- Dark leafy greens for calcium and iron

    --- Some source of B12 such as supplement or small quantity of animal based food

    --- 10-30 minutes of sun for Vitamin D
