Funniest gym myths you have heard.

IDC what sort of idiot takes that much of a excessive amount to do that. too add you never stated an excessive amount. We are talking 250-300g a day +.

But your body can only burn off so much protein. Your body will store excess amounts as fat.

Think i made it pretty clear that i was talking excessive amounts.

Your body can turn protein into fat but has to first convert protein to glucose through glucogenisis..Their is a limited amount that the liver can convert per day around 200-300 grams per day..If all you eat is lean zero carb protein you can actually stave to death because you cannot get enough of your bodies caloric needs through protein alone. Because of metabolic inefficiency in conversion and fat is twice as calorically dense it's highly unlikely to turn into more than 100 grams of fat per day no matter how much protein you eat. Storing dietary carbohydrates and fats is a much simpler process and it's not limited by the liver.

No your body will not store protein as fat, this is a myth. Overkill can damage your kidneys an you're likely to s h it and p i s s the rest of it out, but low fat protein will not lead to fat.

I am 165 lbs and consume around 190 lbs of protein daily. Exsessive carbs have lead to fat build up. Too much protein just gives me the s h i t s, never added fat.

My word! You eat 190Lbs of protein daily!!!! That is the weight of a cruiserweight boxer?!!

Are you sure you didn't mean 190 grams daily?

no wonder those cruisers are moving up to sacrifice themselves to the klitschkos- gotta be better to take a beating and get paid than get eaten at the rate of one a day by this crazy wild poster!

Lean meats, fidh (unsaturated fats), low-fat greek yoghurt, egg whites etc.

Good man! If you have any digestion issues you might have to go to the pharmacy for some oinkment.
