Adonis is simply wrong about naturals not being able to assimilate large amounts of protein. Most of the great bodybuilders and strongmen from the pre-steroid era ate a ton of protein. I actually have a tendency to lose weight when going on a high protein diet. It's the carbs that make most people fat.

as far as i know carbs and protein have the same amount of calrioes gram for gram, but protein wont make you fat like carbs because it is not the bodies first choice for energy and has to convert the energy from protein into glucose through a process called gluconeogenisis (i think this is right) and this takes the body more effort i.e using more energy in the energy conversion so in theroy you should be able to ingest more protein and not worry to much about fat accumulation if carbs are low enough.
