Best Answer

no carbs are completely different from protein. when you eat carbs they are broken down in glucose for your blood which supplies your body with enegry. if it isn't used then it will be stored as fat.

proteins are found in meat, eggs and dairy products. they are used to build and repair muscle.

the two are not linked

Proteins can be broken down into carbohydrates, though, by removing the ammonia part, through a process called gluconeogenesis in the liver. So proteins can turn into sugars but sugars cannot turn into proteins -- at least in the human body they cannot.
