Neither normal nor abnormal, IMHO. I think you're confused about what the goal is, though. It's not 40g protein, 30g fat, 30g carbs. It's 40% of calories from protein, 30% of calories from fat, 30% of calories from carbs. Over in the Nutrition stuff is a sticky that suggests 30% of calories from each of protein, fat, and carbs, with the remaining 10% used however you like. So today might look like 40/30/30, and tomorrow might look like 32/37/31, for instance. That was essentially what I did, and it worked for me, but it took a lot more work than just counting calories. Counting calories is much easier.

80%, or 80grams? 80g gives you lots of room. 80%, and you might want to swap out some grains for protein + fat.

Assuming 1,300 is the right number of calories for you, which I have no particular opinion on, 40/30/30 comes out to be:

130g protein
43g fat
98g carb

If you use something like Fitday, it'll do the percentages for you, and you only have to identify foods that give you what you're missing. Carbs + fat = easy. Fat + protein = easy. Carbs + protein without fat is harder.
