The Role of Excess Protein in Muscle Building and Fat Loss
Excess protein consumption leads to prioritized muscle building, while the remaining protein is more likely to be utilized for energy during a later training session rather than stored as body fat. High protein, same calorie diets tend to result in more fat loss due to the thermogenic and muscle building effects of protein. Consuming one to one grams of protein consistently through whole foods can significantly impact muscle building and fat loss for the general population. Evolutionary theory supports the human body's inclination to prioritize protein for repair and rebuilding. While the body can turn excess protein into body fat if calorie intake exceeds expenditure, it is less likely to do so compared to carbs or fats, as the process of converting protein into energy is slower and more lengthy.
