Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Excess protein is transformed into fat and stored in adipose (fat) tissue. This can lead to weight gain rather than weight loss. Consuming too much protein can also be hard on the kidneys, but excess protein is not excreted as protein in urine or amino acids in feces, nor does it get transaminated into lipids and circulated in lymph.
