First of all this is in no way a real diet anyone should consider. The purpose of my posting it is I am trying to understand how much protein is burned for energy in calorie deficit vs what is used from fat reserves.
For the purposes of this, assume someone has a moderately high activity level, and their maintenance calories are 3000. The only thing they eat is 2500 calories worth of fat free turkey breast per day. 100% of the calories they consume are protein.
How much of that protein will get metabolized for energy?
What about at 2000 calories?
At 1500?
What I'm trying to establish in my head is at what point does not eating enough overcome the fact that you're still technically getting all the protein you need to do bodily maintenance activies.
Bonus reps if you can provide an equation and relevant variables.
