lol hmm i love this topic! well ive been reading tons here a bit of what ive found so far.
'When you eat more protein in your diet then your body needs for repair and rebuliding, the extra is converted to fat and stored in adipose tissue (the brown fat that, once stored in the body, is difficult to lose) rather muscle. You cant store fat for late use, as you can carbs and fats. Excessive protein generally draws calcuim from bones. Excessive protein also dehydrates the body since the enormous amount of water is required to help excrete protein wates in urine. Most North American adults do not need to increse there protien intake. The average adult eats for 80 to 120 grams a day more then twice the u.s Recommed Daily Intake of 0.75 per kilogram of body weight (note kilo not pound)
sedentary adult 0.4
active exercising 3 times a week 0.6
endurance athlete (marathon runner) 0.75
Strength athlete (avid weight resistance trainer) 0.8
Elite Athlete 1.0

in anougher book i have i says it depends on your size and level of activity
Determine your BF take that number x by your body weight. take new number and - from your present weight. the new number represents your lean body mass. now caluate (this book says if your a athlete 1.25 x you body weight. that number reps your daily protein intake in grams. Then there is a big chart where you can look at your protein intake and go acrodd and see how much carbs and fat and caloric intake can be.
