I've read a lot of dif. things that suggest dif. percentage of protein in ones diet. I usually go by 40% protein. However, I read that 30% may be more efficient because excess protein doesn't really even get used? Any thoughts opinions?

I'm sure its different depending on one's goals (bulking, cutting) and what kind of super-supplements someone is taking at one time. These variables aside, it will differ from person to person anyway. Experience (aka trial and error) is the best teacher.
I dont think that your body will process protien differently based on a specific percentage. My understanding is that its based on your body's need and ability to absorb. I think that you are trying to oversimplify this Shred. And, I like thing that are simple, but I dont think that it works in this case.Quote:

Any extra macronutrients get stored as fatQuote:

Right, with the context that he stated it, it sounded like there is no way protein gets stored as fat, its just pissed out... thats what I was clearing upQuote:

isa t take as much protein as you can, i dont no whether theese theorys are right or wrong but i dont think that alotta protein can hurt you
Ok, hypothetically speaking... if I take in 4000 calories in protein, none gets stored as fat?
wont be stored if your carolic expenditure meets or exceeds 4k :tear:Quote:

Since the Atkin craze, alot of faddy people, especially in LA, have been complaining of 'back pains'.
Explanation is that protein is being turn to a carb store by the kidneys. This conversion put alot of strain on them and can eventually cause serious damage. The damage of eating a high protein diet can be limited by eating carbs as well.
