How do you check your macro nutrients? Simple blood test, the way you'd check cholesterol and Iron, and whatnot?
The only issue I have is my dad could get a glimpse of it. Not that I don't want him to know, but I get more chastising than I do help in instances like this and I don't want shit like this held over my head.
"Why won't you finish the last of the brocoli I made?"
"I'm full. I had three plates already."
"See? This is why you'll get cancer."
I don't want to deal with that shit. Plus, I'm scared something big might come up and I'd be scared to see the results. Like a test you know you felt poorly about.

Time to grow up and cook your own meals buddy.
As to how to work out your macros, basically, trial and error, start with like a 40/40/20 split, so 40% protein, 40% carbs, 20% fat, and then just adjust it up and down carb and fat wise and see what your body responds to best. I wouldnt suggest dropping protein below that, and it should be 1gram of protein for every lb of lean muscle mass.
You dont want to just lose mass, youll just be skinny fat, you want to keep what muscle you have for every day function while losing fat. Dont worry about what the scale says.
Go sign up at myfitnesspal.com to track what you eat that day, what marcos are in it, etc.
So you can put your meals in and by the end of the day know how much room you have left for... chocolate

I pretty much use it to plan my meals ahead of time though.
