If you eat more protein than you need, the excess is converted into glucose.

But note that it actually takes energy to break down the protein.

If you eat 100 kcal protein your body burns 20-30 kcal to process it. And you will feel more satiated than with the same amount of carbs.

Any evidence behind your numbers and claims?
