ANSWER: |
Dietary protein will not be used efficiently and will not support growth when energy from carbohydrate and fat is lacking. Carbohydrate and fat allow amino acids to be used to build body proteins. Without carbohydrate and fat, the body will break down protein to meet its energy needs (protein wasting). |
