body needs protein to repair muscle fibers
>>37653004
you need high protein with high fat or the muscles will break down too
You starve to death on a high protein diet because humans can only extract around 1600 calories per day from dietary protein, assuming optimal conditions
>>37653106
when people say high protein diet they don't mean they eat 400g of protein
>>37653004
The body turns excess protein into glucose for energy
Basically just expensive carbs
>High Protein diet
is the same as high carbs but more expensive and with some calorie loss from conversion/tef

Please stop this meme. Body doesn't turn protein into carbs unless it's absolutely necessary for survival. That too it starts eating your muscles. The body will not convert the chicken you eat or the whey you drink into carbs

Lol who let you use a computer you literal retard
if there's excess protein what the fuck do you think happens to it? gluconeogenesis, nothing else
>>37653080
is this true
what do I eat for healthy fats
Almond butter is OK but expensive, same with salmon

High protein the body uses it to repair muscles and whatnot, left over protein is converted to glucose in the liver.

Nuts and seeds are healthy fats. Among those, omega-3/omega-6 content is a consideration. Walnuts, flaxseed and mustard are relatively high omega-3 and often considered top notch choices in terms of health. Hazelnuts, cashews, almonds and macademia nuts are low-PUFA, so they do not contribute a lot of omega-6. Peanuts are OK. Sunflower seeds and pine nuts are questionable.
The easiest way to maintain an adequate omega-3/omega-6 is to consume a low-fat diet, with most fat coming from fish, walnuts, mustard, etc. However, on an adequately low-fat diet even if all your fat comes from meats you will still consume less saturated fat than the generally accepted upper limit.

Eggs, milk, nuts and meat is good enough.

High protein, in the likes of 330 and up is actually harmful to a person.
>>37653598
You are wrong Sir.
>>37653106
I thought your body just turns protein into a carbohydrate alternative, or rather uses it like a carb when you're eating too much /solely protein
Friend of mine in the military actually fell into a 2 day coma cause of malnutrition cause he literally only ate protein for a few months.
