Many bodybuilders jack their protein through the roof when they diet. But protein has calories, too, which can be stored as fat if over-consumed. Take in 1-1.5 grams of protein per pound of bodyweight each day, (200-300 grams for a 200-pound person). This provides sufficient amino acids to maintain muscle mass, while keeping your total calorie count under control.

Agree in principle and if mass building I suppose it's not as important but we are all different and we all need to experiment to see how we react to the macros we eat. But it's a good baseline to start from.

I have to say I jacked mine up as well as fats
but I went keto and what I lost in cals from carbs I gained back in protein and fats
ie if was eating 4500 cals and dropped carbs so would be 3000 cals
then I uppped protein and fats so was back at 4500cals
(just numbers not my cals just example)
and then as weeks went by I adjusted
but feel in first weeks with no drop in cals but change in diet I defo lost fat
