An article was posted about protein can not turn into fat.

I disagreed

Again, you can disagree with science but that doesn't change it. Protein won't turn to fat for the same reasons carbs won't turn to fat. Cause your body doesn't have a static "I first burn this, then this then, this" flowchart. What your body will do if you have more carbs than you'd technically need is it increases the amount it burns because it's more hassle to store carbs as fat than to store fat as fat. The same thing is true for protein but to an even greater extent like the article said. BTW. at rest it's fat that provides the most of your energy needs, not carbs.

It's OK I new there will be people asking those types of questions.

Question 1 Depends on your weight and what is your actual goal. if you're exercising everyday, or if you're a pro athlete. For example my weight is 250 when I'm training hard I will have an intake of around 200 g of protein a day. When I don't work out I will lower the intake around 150 g. It's hard to give actual numbers without knowing your body composition. So calculate if a person weighs 165 pounds they should be consuming 55 to 65 grams of protein as an average Joe. If your working out those days you should be consuming more. You just have to be careful to not over do the intake of protein as it can turn into fat. Protein shakes can help, but it's always better to eat food with all macronutrients. If you want more actual numbers to give you, you can private message me with your actual weight etc...

Question 2 This depends also on your body composition. Doing both is a good idea, so you don't get burned out on just cardio or strength training. If I'm on a nutrient plan to loose % body fat I do more cardio and light weight training. Lots of intervals where I keep my heart rate up. Your diet is key if you're trying to loose % fat and gaining muscle. You need to maintain your daily calorie intake to sustain muscle growth.

If you still have questions please feel free to ask.
