etween meals, animals have NO place to store the amino acids from digested protein EXCEPT as lean tissue. The body attempts to store every bit of protein that it can with or without exercise. The tissue is primarily muscle BUT it is temporary and does not affect strength. USUALLY, it is retrieved and burned while one awaits the next meal.

Not all protein can be stored. Even “complete” proteins have different amino acid proportions from that lean tissue and some fraction cannot be stored. The amino acids do not circulate for long. The liver collects them and converts them into glucose.

The construction rate is limited. If a digested protein releases amino acids more rapidly than tissue can utilize them, the overflow also becomes glucose. That is why protein supplements have been found ineffective when consumed as a snack rather than as part of a real meal.

I recently worked the numbers. The average adult male is 80 kg and requires 64 grams of protein per day. The “bro-talk” would say that is not enough protein but even the optimistic gain of two pounds per week would utilize only 38% of that protein.

Some supplements fail regardless. Whey starts out liquid and rapidly exits the stomach. It can traverse the small intestine within minutes depending on one’s hydration level. Italian research found that the first 15 grams could temporarily saturate the absorptive capacity of the small intestine with larger servings lost by overflowing into the large intestine. Since that does not get digested, one cannot even call it “excess”.

The body CAN utilize the glucose. The actual calories in muscle are only 10%–20% of the energy required to construct that muscle. The construction energy MUST come from glucose.

Glucose from elsewhere in the diet is responsible for accumulating body fat BUT NEITHER AMINO ACIDS NOR GLUCOSE ARE CONVERTED INTO FAT.

Except for fructose which MUST be converted into fat, humans are very poor at converting other nutrients into fat, especially compared to pigs. That is why we feed THEM carbs. Humans actually increase their metabolic rate in response to glucose to burn it rather than trying to store it.

The real issue is that the insulin required to metabolize glucose blocks the release of HGH from the pituitary. HGH triggers the retrieval of fat from storage for burning. Glucose does not become fat BUT inhibits the burning of existing fat even if one has just consumed it in the same meal.

The body can generally only digest about 50 grams of protein per meal (this of course can vary from person to person, but you should not ingest more than 50 g at one time). Note that "meal" does include any protein shakes or supplements you may also take. How long it takes the body to process the protein depends on the type of protein, the form it is ingested in (shakes are absorbed much faster than food), and the individual. Excess protein will be passed through the body as waste. This could give you a bad case of diarrhea, bloating, gas, and cramping. If you are otherwise healthy, you should not see any really toxic effects other than these relatively mild side effects. However, if you are obese, elderly, or have kidney problems or Diabetes, you could seriously damage your kidneys. The kidneys work to process protein, so any protein secreted in urine is a sign that you need a trip to the doctor immediately. If you already have kidney problems, excessive protein could make the problems much worse. It is very important to drink PLENTY of water when you are ingesting high amounts of protein, even if the amount is considered a healthy amount.

Excess protein is converted to fat. This fat is stored in the adipose tissues and can be used by the body during lean times.
