Protein is still better calorie for calorie in many ways, such as increased satiety, and the thermal effect (you body uses slightly more energy to process protein than fats or carbs).
But yes if you eat too much you will put on fat, workouts or not. Also be aware that most protein bars and shakes are more often than not just sugar bombs without even that much protein. Always check the labels
Thanks! I train 5 days/week. This reminds me of a scene in Mean Girls
