That’s the difference between protein and fiber though. You can essentially spam the amount of protein you take in and the excess just gets expelled. The same is not true of fiber too much fiber has downsides.

That doesn't happen magically, and "spamming" protein can definitely damage your kidneys.

Not true? It becomes fat if you are above your caloric intake.

Fiber on the other is just undigestible, so you always expel it, though I agree that too much fiber will cause issues.
