Keep in mind that the recommendations for carbs/protein per kg are only guidelines and should be adjusted to your individual circumstances. I’m still about 20 pounds over my ideal body weight. That said, I need to factor this into the recommendations so that I don’t overeat while fueling my workouts. See this comment from @Coach.Suzie.S

I think we’ve discovered some information in that Eating to Suffer Plan that may give protein recommendations that are too high.
I’ve checked in with @Coach.Neal.H and we recommend a protein intake of 1-2g/kg of body weight, but that can be a big range, depending on the fitness level of different individuals. For someone who is fit, an intake anywhere in that range would be appropriate, but for someone who is overweight, it would be way too much. In easy to apply terms, 20-30g per meal is a reasonable target for most people, and you can increase or decrease for your specific needs if necessary.
