Exclamation What the heck? Protein turns to fat? Im scared!

I just read this on some article on oxygen.com..


(eww carbs)...
Meeting your protein needs with your diet is a cinch as long as you are not restricting your calories and are eating plenty of carbohydrates (bread, pasta, veggies, and fruits) that can be used for energy.


Just don't overdo it. Eating too much protein IS bad for your kidneys, because your body has to break the excess protein down. The waste products are literally flushed down the toilet. (Sorry for the graphics.) If you have eaten your quota of calories for the day, the overload of calories from the protein will be stored as fat.



Um..I'm scared now. First carbs turn into fat now its protein? What the heck did I miss?
