An excess of protein intake can still lead to fat accumulation. When your body is in a calorie excess (i.e., you are eating more calories than your body needs to maintain its weight), an excess of any macronutrient is much more likely to be converted into fat for storage.

If you have any other questions, please let me know. This is a relatively complex and interesting topic.

Here is a quote from one of our articles that answers your question directly:
“Eating too much protein at once is fine; none of it will be wasted. As you eat high amounts of protein, your body can regulate the speed at which the intestines contract, resulting in slower digestion for proper absorption.
In normal conditions, your small intestine is responsible for sucking up all that fantastic protein as you digest it. In fact, it’s been shown that it absorbs about 95% of your protein.
If by chance you skip a meal and have to eat 100g of protein in one sitting, your small intestines won’t be able to properly absorb all of it. When this happens, your small intestine will store the amino acids and release them as the body needs, and even recycling them if that’s needed.”

To help you meet your recommended protein intake, try adding an extra serving of a high-protein keto food to your meals like meat, eggs, fish, hard cheese, and protein powder, so you can sneak a bit more protein in.

If you have any other questions, please let me know.
