    35% protein, although commonly recommended, is just too darn high for the vast majority of people who aren't also going extremely low-calorie.
    I just re-examined my macros, and tweaking my protein amount, based on 1.3 grams-per-kg-of-LBM, gives me:


    1803 kcal Daily Calorie Intake (20% deficit)
    20 g Carbohydrates (4%, 80 kcal)
    94 g Protein (21%, 376 kcal)
    150 g Fat (75%, 1347 kcal)

    So, yeah, fixating on percentages is dumb.

    Or fixing cals can be dumb in some cases.
