Let's say there are hypothetical situations:
#1: All you eat for a long time is Whey Protein Shakes. All your meals are whey. You get more than enough Protein in your diet.
#2: You eat only high protein foods like chicken, eggs, Beef, etc. You don't other foods with high carb or fat content, just foods with high protein.
What happens to that person? Would they be able to grow in that scenario?
If you eat enough eggs, beef, steak, and salmon you will get enough fat though......I could be wrong but as long as you are in a calorie surplus I am sure you would be making good gains....I eat a bunch of protein (way too much for my size) and I have made good gains. (can't help it though I love high protein food). I can't believe the people who can't hit protein requirements....by far the easiest macro to hit.
Try it for 30 days then tell us how it went.
your body cant process all that protein at once therefore it will store the extra protein as fat, hence you will get fat

Then...you'll be
-short on calories, and as a result won't be able to gain any mass
-deficient infats, screwing with your satiety, lipid values, and hormone levels
-short on carbs, potentially messing with your energy levels
-deficient in fiber, making for one unenjoyable pooping experience
-deficient in micronutrients, good luck with your health goals in 2011
Sounds like a great idea.
Death.
Ever heard of essential fats?
It's fully doable if you just eat protein but supplement vitamins+omega 3/6/9+minerals+fiber.
Body turns to protein and muscle for energy
micro nutrient deficiency
unpleasant bathroom experiences
EFA deficiency
High food bill
High BUN and elevated liver enzymes

Even if the answer is yes, why they hell would you want to exclude anything but protein from your diet?

BOOM!!! Protein everywhere.

Considering all of the foods you mentioned have a substantial amount of fat I would imagine nothing of note would take place in the short term. Ketosis would eventually set in.
In absence of any and all of the whole foods mentioned, if one were to consume nothing but protein shakes -- I'd imagine GI issues -- along with a plethora of hormonal and micronutrient deficiencies would eventually become major health issues.

Honestly being lazy and not reading everyones posts, so it may have already been said but...
Carbs are the only energy that your brain can utilize (in the form of glucose), so its impossible and eventually you will fail to function

Scenario 1 - You end up in the corner crying, cutting yourself with a bucket of Ben & Jerries because you tanked your hormones from lack of dietary fat
Scenario 2 - The same thing but it takes longer from the trace fat you got from the eggs.
