None. It takes carbs to absorb protein, not fat.

*Slaps forehead*
Wow... Guys you don't need a combination of macronutrients to digest them. There is a digestion process for each individual macronutrient. If the guy who said you needed carbs was right how would it make sense to drink whey with water... Cmon guyS!

The Human body cannot use pure protein, it needs amino acids. To break protein down protein into amino acids, protein must be exposed to Pepsin, trypsin,(and other enzymes) which help break down the complex proteins into simple amino acids.
To produce the enzymes requres energy, but not speifically protein or fat.
I read somewhere where small children require certain amounts of fat to proprly dispose of excess protein in the kidnyes, but that dosent apply to anyone over the age of 1.
SO: You don't NEED fat or carbs to digest protein.
A good balanced diet is still none the less still a good thing.
