Outta carb allotment, still need more calories

The problem with protein is once you consume more protein than your fat your protein turns into glucose, I would try to up your intake ( are you hungry? Or doing this because of your calorie goals?) by having something with more fat. Ie, omelette with cheese.

We need at least an equal amount of fat compared to protein or else the protein turns into a carb?

I eat 170ish g of protein daily. I eat 80ish g of fat daily. You're telling me that 90g of my protein actually becomes glucose?

Through what sort of wizardry does this happen?

:huh:

What I think our pal meant is that we get traditionally most of our calories from carbs or fat. Any excess protein will be broken down into energy.

I get *all* of my calories from carbs, fat, and protein. Any excess calories will be stored as fat or muscle. Any deficit in calories will be taken from existing fat or muscle.

TL;DR - What she said still doesn't make sense even with you clarification.

I'm pretty sure all foods are broken down into energy, carb, fat or protein. A calorie is, after all, a unit of energy. How your body treats these different macronutrients is an entirely different matter, but I'm pretty sure it's all broken down into energy in some form.

Galatea-Stone, you are absolutely right! All these macros have calories (4 for carbs and protein) and 9 for fat. And yes they are processed differently. Still proteins are primarily broken down into amino acids and should there be a shortage of carbs and fat they would provide energy. And should they be in excess they would be turned into glucose and stored as fat (*)
Fats provide more than half of the body's energy needs and carbs can only be stored in small quantities (liver) so it is a ready to use energy. Furthermore, they play an important role for specific brain cells.

Any excess energy from one or another is synonym of excess fat. Excess fat is just stored energy after all

I trust we are all on the same page.
