1g/lb seems to be around the cutoff for optimally hanging on to LBM while dieting.
But if you're holding a good bit of extra fat, that may not/probably won't be an issue until you get a bit leaner.
I'd still make it a goal to get as much protein as possible, though, just for reasons of appetite control if nothing else.
