How the protein stored in the body?
I don't think they are stored. Obviously they are used to make structures such as muscle. If there is a dietary shortage of protein muscle can be broken down to provide amino acids. I have been told that small amounts of muscle tissue may break down in the short period of overnight fasting, and that this has encouraged dieticians to stress the importance of breakfast. I cannot give references for this and frankly consider it should be treated with caution.

Does a lack of protein help weight loss?
Not really. A lack of calories helps weight loss, but a lack of protein will encourage muscle catabolism- the body will break down muscle for energy- not good when you want to be taking care of fat. Consuming sufficient, or even a little extra protein during caloric reduction, in addition to regular weight lifting, can help to preserve muscle mass while reducing body fat.
