just a check at my diet !!

The excess protein won't be wasted. It will be converted to glucose and used just like carbs would but with an intermediary process. Not as efficient as taking in carbs but not waste either.

I'm no doctor but many people outside of this forum also told me that they would just be pissed out and not used. One being a professor at my local university kinesiology department. I went in for a bod pod and after we talked about my diet. He said I was in great shape for being a big guy. Told him I was eating around 300 pro's. That's when he said they were just being wasted, but another thing he said was that I should be eating about 600g carbs, don't think I could handle that because hard time at 300c right now

if excess calories get pissed out how would anyone ever get fat?

Excess protein gets converted to amino acids and nitrogen. The amino acids then get converted to glucose while the nitrogen is excreted in your urine. This is the basis of that claim. It doesn't mean that the extra protein does nothing bc in fact it adds to caloric intake. Only so much will go to building muscle and the rest gets used in other ways.

I agree with this, after Times Romans thread where he had increased caloric intake by 10% with protein and was managing to lose weight, it came to the conclusion that too much excess protein is excreted. Since then I've seen too many other articles stating that it's just turned into glucose as mentioned. Still doesn't explain Romans strange phenomenon but hey science is science.

It gets converted to glucose via gluconeogenesis.

no one eats "just" protein. You need fat too. And if you stack the fat on top of the max amount of protein you can metabolize, you will have excess calories and increase fat/weight. But I didn't say "excess calories", I said "excess protein". Maybe that's where the confusion is coming from?
