    Poverty macros....you mean a small amount of total cals?

    Anyway, it's the cleanest diet i have ever done. My problem in the past was overeating cals and although i was increasing the reps every week, the bf was also sneaking up. That is why i don't want to over do the calorie total this time around.

    Not sure about the protein thing, maybe it's high, but at a 40:30:30 split of P/C/F, that is actually spot on, but i am sure just under 200 would be fine.

    If i do actually drop the protein down by about 50g, which is 200 cals, what do i replace them with, carbs or fats?

    Carbs, your bodies preferred energy source. Look up Romans protein corner revising the 40/40/20 macro split thread, he goes into detail about excessive protein is a waste, it's it not excreted it's just turned into expensive carbs.

    If 2500 works for you and you're not gaining too much weight then that's great goodluck

    If 2200 is my maintanence, then 2500 would only be 300 above that, which would not be a fat gaining diet......i hope.

    Clean as i can go. I just revised my diet to a max of 200g of protein, so i can up the carbs to 200g or so, although i feel fine on 150g of carbs a day.
