You may think of protein as the muscle-building nutrient and fat as the fat-storage nutrient, but protein can act as a fat under certain physiological conditions. Proteinâs primary role is to provide the building blocks, or amino acids, to synthesize structural and functional proteins within the body.
Protein provides four calories per gram. The human body can do three things with protein calories; put protein in fat stores, use it as an energy source or use it to carry out functions vital to life.
