One other reason to not let your protein/fats precentages get out of balance is that the liver can convert excess protein imto glucogen which can cause a blood sugar spike in some people. While this is a useful thing because your body can then produce the small amount of glucose it needs without carbs, in susceptable individuals it can keep the body on the insulin cycle. How much protein is controversial, and I won't give a number, just make an effort to keep your fats in the 70-65% range and protein at 25% or so. Nyah Levi
