protein absorbtion?

No bc when dietary fat intake is under ~10% of energy intake de novo lipogenesis ramps up. This is one of the exceptions I noted above. There also is no "maintenance" of carbs but I think I understand what you're trying to say.

Oh i see, ya my maintenance i meant TDEE.

So what's is the most important part of diet besides getting the macros? Meal timing for efficiency (muscle spikes, forgot term lol)?

Most important part of diet is getting in your calories and macros which are dictated by your stats and goals followed by eating diverse foods so as to get a full range of micros. Meal timing is important but it's also highly individualistic as some people can train fasted fine some train in a post-prandial state better. Meal timing won't affect your body comp but it can affect your training intensity so time your meals in such a way as to maximize gym performance.

I also try to stay away from telling people which specific foods to eat as they have intolerances to certain foods or just not like them. Consistency is another very important concept in diet and many ppl cannot be consistent if they hate what they're eating everyday.
