Should i count calories from protein? if not , will i gain fat?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: All calories matter. Body can convert carbohydrate and protein into fat. For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, low fat milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco or alcohol in any form.
