PROTEINS

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Extra protein that is not used by the body is stored as glycogen and
A
carbohydrate
B
water
C
glucose
D
adipose tissue
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Most excess nutrients, whether carbohydrate, protein, or lipid, are ultimately stored as triglyceride in white adipose tissue. If the storage capacity of adipose tissue is exceeded, lipids and other nutrients enter nonstorage tissues.

Detailed explanation-2: -The body can’t store protein, so once needs are met, any extra is used for energy or stored as fat. Excess calories from any source will be stored as fat in the body.

Detailed explanation-3: -Protein Conversion If you consume more protein than your body needs to maintain, repair and grow cells, the excess is stripped of its nitrogen-containing components and converted into glycogen–and then glucose–for energy.

Detailed explanation-4: -It’s not uncommon to hear claims that dietary protein eaten in excess of some arbitrary number will be stored as body fat. While the metabolic pathways to convert amino acids to fatty acids do in fact exist in the human body, the fact of the matter is that under almost no circumstance will this ever happen.
