Everyone's system and body are different, and it is all somewhat of a guessing game until you find what works for you(including ratios). Trial and error my friend, but I'm sure some guys can help you out and give you a rough idea where to start. It is kinda important that you state what you are trying to do with your diet(bulk?/cut?)... otherwise we dont know what to suggest.

Goal:Bulking up- strength and mass

Height: 5'6
weight: 175
bodyfat: 10-12%
yrs lifting- 5

Workout schedule
Example

Mon- Back
Tues- Chest. Shoulders
Wed- Bi's, Tri's
Thu- Legs
Fri-Back
Sat-off
Sun-off or legs again

My schedule rotates through, so what i do is work the same muscle group monday and friday. Also I've recently thrown in that arm day but i used to do shoulders & bi's and then Chest & Tri's so i think i will also mix those days up to.

You want 6-7 meals, 3500 calories, and get your carbs from complex sources (yams, sweet potatoes, brown rice, whole grain pasta, oatmeal). Use a 50/30/20 c,p,f. Use lean sources of meat (although doesn't matter as much in the off season, sat. fat is never good for you). Avoid sugar and processed empty nutrient junk food. Feel free to ask more questions.

My man is dead on with the nutrition for a descent base to start from, obviously you can tweak as you go. Stay on the diet for at least a month before adjusting so you get a good idea of what to change, and it will also give ur body time to adjust to the new diet. On your non training days, if you simply sit on ur ass, you could drop the carbs a tad, but if ur getting them from clean foods, I wouldn't even bother(especially since u only take one day off a week)
