my rule of thumb is you should at least get 1g of protein for every pound of your ideal weight. So ...my ideal weight is 150lbs...i should consume at least 150g of protein (if youre working out and looking to tone). If your not working out then yes, this amount of protein will be converted into fat.0

no..........excess protein will not be made into fat0 -

no..........excess protein will not be made into fat
If individuals consume protein in excess of their caloric and protein needs, the extra protein will not be stored as protein. Unfortunately such extra protein is converted to and stored as fat. As a result, if individuals consume large amounts of extra protein in addition to their regular dietary intake, any weight gain would very likely be in the form of fat.-From American council of exercise.0 -
Too much of anything will turn into fat, even carrots if you eat more calories in a day than your body needs. But just being over on your protein grams while still being within a reasonable calorie total is not going to make you gain, no. More likely to make you lose because you're more satisfied and less likely to overeat on junk food.

"in excess of their caloric and protein needs"................. caloric is key. Just having an overage of protein will not cause fat storage. You also put "if individuals consume large amounts of extra protein in addition to their regular dietary intake, any weight gain would very likely be in the form of fat." This assumes that the excess protein calories are up and above her normal calories, so once again, the excess calories, this case coming from protein, would be stored as fat. The key is the extra calories, not the extra protein.0 -

Actually, I just learned about this recently. When eating in a calorie surplus without lifting, the protein isn't directly converted into fat. It's used but then any fat you eat is stored. Where as if you did NOT eat more calories than you consumed that fat would be used.0 -

Not necessarily. If the fatty acids are needed for other metabolic functions, and the protein is consumed in excess of the body's needs (which is most of the time) then the protein is converted into glucose using gluconeogenesis, then from there converted to glycogen, and then glycerol, to be stored in fat cells as a triglyceride. Essentially, excess protein behaves just like excess carbohydrates.0 -
