40/30/30 protein and increase in calories?

 I know that the dieticians at TWH recommend a 40 protein/30 carb/30 fat ratio for your daily intake. Does this hold true as you go into maintenance and increase your calories?   How much is too much protein in terms of putting a strain on the kidneys?

Thanks for the advice!

 TWH suggests only 40 protein? At HRRH you are required 80-85.

Not 40 grams, 40% of your caloric intake has to be from protein.

 well don't I feel like an idiot, guess I should read more carefully 

 If you are on maintenance you can play with the numbers more.  The 40/30/30 is optimal for losing.   Because you don't want to lose anymore you can switch it around a bit and carefully monitor how it affects your weight.  It should be overall calories that will matter most bu****ch the carbs don't over rule everything else. It's going to quite frankly be a matter of seeing what works best for your body.  

I"m only two months post op but one of my friends who had surgery a while ago told me it took almost four months and many visits to the dietician to finally figure out how many calories she needed to maintain.  Her weight was all over the place.

That's a great question to ask your dietician.

 Good question ..... as I have now reached goal and continue to lose (although according to my BMI am still officially overweight - by approximately 12 pounds). 

 Wow love your new picture.....managing the maintanence stage is a real challenge....it definitely takes some getting used too
