I am beginning to reverse diet after show ... when should I reduce protein intake?

I am a female figure competitor. 117 lbs.

Pretty lean, so during the final prep week, I was at 1300 calories, 180 protein, 100 carbs, 20 fat.

I am now going to begin reverse dieting....

I know that I can increase my calorie intake by about 100-150 calories per week. I will do this mostly with carbs and a bit of fat.

But when/how should I start reducing protein? Since I'm 117 lbs, I really only need 117 protein.

And if I reduce protein, can I replace those with carbs? And if so, can I still increase my weekly calorie consumption?

So, for example, let's say I want to increase my calorie intake by 100, putting me at 1400 calories. Let's say I add 20 carbs and 2-3 fat. But if I reduce my protein by 20 grams as well, then can I add those extra 80 calories in with additional carbs and/or fat? If not, then I have really only increase my calorie intake by about 20 calories ....

Anyway, looking for input...
