As one decreases in body weight to lean out should the protein intake decrease as well?
No. Always aim for at least 0.8 – 1 grams of protein per lb of body weight. In a fat loss diet your carbohydrates and fats are the two you want to adjust. Keeping protein the same start to finish of the diet helps maintain muscle mass.
