I understand that, but with new macros of 60, 35, 5 for 1600 cals, I'd be getting less than ideal amount of protein.

Start by calculating your protein intake at 1g/lb lean mass at your new intake...then once that is set get 5% of the remaining from carbs and then the rest fat it will balance out"If you will it, it is no dream."
