Does the body store excess calories from proteins like it does carbohydrates that are not used as fats?

Protein StorageThere are a lot of details to this answer but here is a nutshell version.

All foods that we eat are made up of fats, carbohydrates and proteins. Carbohydrates are the primary fuel source. Fats supply fuel but fat is the substance our bodies use to store extra calories. Proteins are used to build and repair muscles, cells, etc.

Our bodies will use what it needs from the foods we eat. If we eat too much of any of these nutrients, the body can store them as fat. If the body needs energy, it can use any of them to make energy but prefers to use carbohydrates.

If we take in more protein than our bodies need, we can convert protein into energy or we can store it as fat. To do this, our bodies use extra water, which increases our chances of becoming dehydrated.

How many calories in a cup of maltodextrin?

I've been researching this, and the best I can find (I have no evidence to support this, so use at your own risk) is between 360-400 calories per 100 grams. One source labeled it as 300 calories per cup.

I cannot say for all forms of Maltodextrin as their MacroNutrient Breakdown will be different in each product but the product I use is 190KCals per 50g which obviously puts it directly in the middle of the accepted answer.

28 grams is a oz-, a oz is 30cc's a tablespoon is 15cc and a teaspoon is 5cc, so 100 grams is about a 1/2 cup.

On Wiki 1gram is less than 4 cal.so that's close as you can get.

What type of foods should a person on a 800 calorie restriction diet eats?

800 calories a day?? You need to consult a doctor before considering such an extreme diet. Most people could not sustain themselves on 800 calories a day for very long at all, even if they were completely sedentary. While caloric restriction has been shown to have some health benefits in humans, 800 calories a day is extreme for a caloric restriction diet, even for a tiny person. And while benefits have been shown as compared to a standard American diet for people living semi-sedentary lives, no study has concluded that a caloric restriction diet is superior to a well-balanced, normal calorie diet with plenty of exercise. A caloric intake as low as 800 calories would prevent you from carrying out any sort of sustained exercise or physical activity. Unless you're morbidly obese, you will not fare well on 800 calories/day. If one were to consume 800 calories a day it would have to be extremely short-run. During that time though, consuming the most nutritionally dense products- fruits, vegetables, whole grain and lean protein would be critical. It would be necessary to eliminate all empty calories, such as added sugars, from one's diet in order to allow enough room for fruits and vegetables. It should be possible to consume 5 servings of fruits and vegetables (anywhere from 30-80 calories a serving), 60 grams of protein (from egg whites or lean turkey/chicken) and a few servings of whole grains, perhaps a handful of nuts. Consume a multivitamin. While most Americans get more than enough protein, you could certainly suffer from a deficiency in protein- or a host of other nutrients, for that matter. No one should undertake an 800 calorie diet unless under the supervision of a trained medical professional. Persons consuming 800 calories a day may be anoretic, which can lead to life-threatening complications. Seek treatment if you believe you have an eating disorder.

How many calories do you need to burn to lose one pound?

3,500 calories = 1 lb of fatThere are 3,500 calories in 1 pound of fat. To burn one pound, you must burn 3,500 calories. This can be done by reducing calorie intake and increasing your activity. Do not decrease your calories by more than 500-800 calories a day. This will slow your metabolism. Try to increase your activity by engaging in moderate to intense exercise for 20-45 minutes a minimum of 3 times a week. A 1-2 pound loss in weight a week is a healthy and more maintainable amount of weight loss.

Let's say you typically eat 2,500 calories per day, and want to lose weight. To lose one pound in a week, you would need to eat 3,500 calories less during that week. This would mean reducing your caloric intake to 2,000 calories per day for the week, since 2,500-2,000 = 500 and 500 x 7 days = 3,500 calories.

How much weight do you lose with a 400 calorie diet?

Answer one: If you're talking per meal, it depends on how many meals you have a day.3 meals = 1200 calories per day. You should probably have a couple snacks in-between meals because 1200 cal. is not very healthy for your metabolism. You should have probably 1300-1350 calories a day.

Answer two: Don't even think about only eating 400 calories a day. That's the impression I'm getting from your question and that's just insane. Your body goes into starvation mode if it gets less then 1 200 calories a day.It storing the fat that it gets because your body knows it's not going to get any more for a while. Just a fun fact for you; prisoners in the holocaust got 500 calories a day in the concentration camps (or atleast that's what I heard). You will eventually die if you only eat 400 calories so please don't try it. That's not even a quarter of what you should be getting. Stay safe!
