I'm maintaining on about 2900 calories a day.
My current macros are:
80 grams Fat
400 grams Carbs
150 grams Protein
I've read that 1.7 grams of protein per kilogram body weight is enough protein for athletes.
I weigh 180 lbs or 81.65 kg which means I should consume 139 grams of protein.
Am I consuming too many carbs? I don't see many guys eating as many carbs as I do. Most guys either go higher fat or higher protein.
Most people here fall for the "1 g of protein per lb of bodyweight" meme. You're fine. Feel free to reduce carbs in favor of fat or protein if you want to.
400 grams of carbs is equal to a cup and a half of sugar. Not exactly what you want in your blood

It is if you eat it all in sugars. It is also equal to 3 cups of brown rice you dummy.

Carbs all get converted to sugars. The rice is mildly better because it needs to undergo digestion but the end result is the same, a shitton of glucose floating around in your blood.

I'm 95kg and my maintenance is 3000-3100 calories, I'm pretty sure eating 2900 calories at 81kg would be bulking.

No, it's maintenance for me.
You're forgetting how much TDE can vary based on activity level.
