Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Proteins can be converted to fat and stored as such even if carbohydrate and fat intake are sufficient, depending on the overall caloric intake and the body's energy needs. If total caloric intake exceeds the body's energy requirements, excess calories from protein can also be converted into fat and stored.
