Hello,
Hmm, I have a question. I am new to the app and honestly, I don't really know much about macros. I am currently at 203 lbs and 22.9 body fat. I am trying to lose 10 pounds and decrease my body fat to a 15-17%. My question is, should my protein be higher than my carbs? I'm currently doing, 35c, 25f, and 45 p( 166c, 53, 190p). I am consuming around 1900 calories a day. Are my numbers right? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

You're fairly close to your goal so I would leave the protein where it is. Keep carbs low during the day and eat them after exercise and add hiit or sprint intervals and you should see results in a month or two0
