Best Answer

Overconsumption of protein can make you fat; proteins have a caloric value just like sugars and fats do. The amino acids that make up protein can be converted into sugars through a process called gluconeogenesis.

Also, certain proteins are themselves toxic (rattlesnake venom is a protein).

What is more is that if you eat too much protein, even high-quality food protein, your body breaks it down into nitrogen compounds such as urea. Too much of that sort of thing is bad for your body, causing kidney damage and so on. Too much of anything is bad for you.
