Answers:
At 5'8" and 140, you can't have a very good base to start with. I would recommend bulking up to at least 180lb to start. I mean no offense, that is just my recommendation based on my own experience of trying to get lean and not really having enough muscle tissue in the first place.
But to answer your question more directly, if you are trying to lean out, you should distribute your caloric intake according to a 35/10/55% intake of protein/carbs/fat. This is your CALORIE distribution. A gram of fat has 8-9 calories while a gram of protein and carbs only has 4 calories. You gotta make sure those fats are healthier fats though as well (Olive oil, fish oil, flax oil, etc.). You will also need to be on a restricted calorie diet of no more than 2000 calories but probably closer to 1500.
