The truth about protein.

Excess protein is NOT digested or used in the body, which means, it turns to fat if it isn't used.  Beware of fad diets, especially those that promote "protein, protein, protein". Ingest proteins after a work out to repair the used muscles.  Otherwise, carbs are required for energy -- just make sure to eat complex carbs (wheat pasta and bread, etc.).

*Important note:  As a general rule, a person’s daily diet should contain ~60% carbs, ~25% proteins, and ~15% fats.
