What you should know:
Perhaps discouragingly, your body can turn both protein and carbohydrates into fat, and is likely to do so when you consume more than you need of either one. It can also turn fat and protein into carbohydrates, which it does as needed for energy. But it cannot make protein from anything but protein. Fortunately, protein is found in many foods—not only animal products, but also vegetables, beans, peas, grains, nuts, and seeds.
