  You need a caloric deficit to lose weight. I use MFP's guidelines. You could set it to 80/10/10 and it would neither help nor hurt.

  30% is my goal, I more often hit 35% though.
  
  My carb goal is lower so my protein goal can be higher for satiety reasons.
  Calorie deficit for weight loss - 69 lbs down.

  50. As you can see it varies greatly. Calorie deficit is the biggest deal along with eating quality food. The percent isn't as important.
