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
