if you don't work out and eat extra protein, it will just be burned and make you fat, almost like sugar but less powerful. it has a lot less calories, but isn't helping, except maybe helping build new fat cells.

Not necessarily true. I lost 20 lbs over the summer by minimizing my junk food and eating more lean protein, and I didn’t start working out until a couple of months ago.

I will concede that everybody is different, so I’m not trying to say you’re wrong. 😊
