Overeating protein eventually just leads to fat and I’ve heard that protein can cause insulin spikes too lol. The only things that never cause insulin spikes are fat and fiber.

Yep. Higher protein percntages literally slow down your metabolism.
In mice models, the mice with the lowest protein percentages would eat the most calories and STILL be the thinnest. Seems to translate into humans too.
The importance of protein seems to exaggerated. Protein for muscle recovery doesn’t even seem that important. When you have a good workout, you deplete glycogen stores in the muscles. The muscles then start to suck up glucose in the blood to refill the muscles causing them to grow. Protein may be the least valuable while fiat science tells you to keep eating dry chicken breasts.
