Nothing

You gain muscle

You get fat lol.

The reason why most people eat extra protein is to pack on calories quick which you need to bulk and gain muscle. If you're eating, but not working out you don't gain muscle you gain fat.

You ever notice how when football players stop playing football, but keep eating the same amount of food they turn into mush? Well you'd do the same if all you did was sit around and drink protein shakes all day

You gain weight.
Excessive Proteins build into fat

Nada. Well IF you are still growing in CAN contribute to gaining muscle. Are you still in your growing stages?

Generally you want to eat 1 gram of protein per pound you weigh if active.

IF not needed for muscle recovery your body will abort the protein (poop it out)

You get fat. Protein is energy. All energy recorded as calories. You're just packing on the pounds.

That's why guys who use weight-gainer pack on a lot of weight, especially if they don't work out.

Goes to the fat; or gets sent to your liver.. too much protein in your liver will cause formation of clots which cause painful urination. But that;s only at really high level of protein
