Dean Bauer · Answer 1

A. If he has excess calories in his diet, he may gain fat weight from converted protien

Explanation:

This is because the body does not store excess protein but instead it is deaminated and the materials are used to build up other food reserve like fatty acids which can make him gain weight.

Brittany Lane · Answer 2

A.

Explanation:

Based on the scenario being described within the question it can be said that you can respond to him by stating that if he has excess calories in his diet, he may gain fat weight from converted protein. That is why excess calories for building muscle mass needs to be consumed at the time of trying to build muscle mass, which goes hand-in-hand with a work-out routine.
