protein can be used as energy. Guess what happens when you drink too much protein from your shake and your muscles don't use them... same thing. You can't just sit there eat all the protein you want and not get fat.

protein will not turn to fat

an excess of calories, no matter what the source, whatever is not used for energy will be stored. And when stored long enough it will turn to fat. Protein is not immune to this.

Yes, protein contains calories just like carbohydrates and fat calories. All three sources function differently in the body, but if you consume more calories than your body can use, those calories can be stored as fat (that includes protein calories).

Just because it is protein doesn't mean you don't count the calories consumed. The reason carbohydrates can effect fat stores more so is because they effect insulin levels more than that of protein. Insulin plays a big role on metabolism, and if not managed properly, can lead to an accelerated rate of fat storage no matter what you consume. And of course fat is more likely to be stored than protein because it contains about twice as many calories as protein and carbs.

If you only eat the carbs after your work out the 1.5 grams of protein per body pound will not turn to fat! The protein will be utilized by the body to make up for lost calories due to a low intake of carbs. thus if you exercise you will lose weight, but you have to becareful not to canalbolize muscle tissue. fats and protein are not utilized in the body when a excess amout of sugars are introduced such as carb then the fats and proteins bind with the carbs and the process of looking like a beached whale begins.

Yes, protein can be converted to glucose for energy and then stored as fat if not used. However, the process by the body to convert protein to glucose is very metabolically costly. Plus, proteins provide the building blocks for synthesizing cellular material during anabolic processes. Good luck

Additionally, too much protein at a time can stimulate insulin levels, too. The amount required for this to happen will vary from person to person depending on many factors.
