Hi Susan_RD_101! I am in the process of going WFPB (follow Dr. Joel Fuhrman and Dr. Michael Gregor). In Cronometer, what are the best macro ratios. I have looked around and it is so confusing.
For macros, I would keep fat around 20% but look to your actual intake of protein. On a plant-based diet, it's ideal if protein is around 1 g per kg (2.2 lbs). This usually works out to 15-20%. The remainder can be from carbs.

With good nutrition, weight loss happens... 110 down, 60 to go...

Thanks Susan! That was what I was thinking 20% Fat - 20% Protein - 60% Carbs.
