it's my understanding the ratios change once we hit goal weight (our ideal body weight), and it is more calories to maintain. I nabbed this from an earlier post:
Quote:
The recommended daily ratio between P, F and C in the ON (calculated per 1kg of IDEAL body weight) is 1: 3.5: 0.8 (10%, 82% and 8%),
and for an overweight person 1: 2.5: 0.8 (12.5%, 77% and 10%), until the body weight is stabilized in the normal range.

So we are eating fewer calories now if we're using the numbers for an overweight person. Unless I'm reading this wrong, which is totally possible lol.
