LOL Robboe, I see these myths posted daily, and they realize they are myths too! WTF!
Anyway:
"You need to keep your muscles guessing or they will just adapt to a routine and stop growing"
"All extra protein turns into fat"
"Cardio in the morning on an empty stomach is the best time to do it"
"High reps are pointless"
"You should ALWAYS train to failure"
I could go on forever, hahaha....

Please explain the following two, as they are not obvious myths:
1. "Cardio in the morning on an empty stomach is the best time to do it" - I believe most people believe that
2. "All extra protein turns into fat" - isn't extra protein not used like any other extra calories? Excess calories would cause fat?

Haha Robboe. I don't want to get into again but basically it's no more effective than cardio done at other times and it's more likely that muscle will be burned during it (because of the liver breaking down muscle to get it's glucose). I've made a shitload of posts on this, you could prolly dig em up with a search.
About the protein, if the extra protein caused an excess of calories, yes. But, just eating more than used for repair will not just turn into fat. Protein can be converted to carbs as well, and used as energy. Only if:
Calorie requirements
Carb requirements
Repair requirements
...are met will it be stored as fat. So, in order for protein to be stored as fat you'd need to be bulking with a surplus of carbs and eating more than 1g/pound.
