fwiw, I'm 60 now, back in 2009 & 2010 I over did the protein & I think caused a kidney problem that lead to my first gout attack. in weight training, they recommend 48 hrs rest between sessions of the same muscle. meaning if you do biceps Monday don't do them again until Wednesday. that doesn't necessarily apply to sports like swimming, running & cycling, but rest may help in our situations. keep researching how to build muscle mass with nutrition timing. incl when to consume simple & complex carbs. I remember using a small fruit juice bottle & adding whey protein powder immediately after rides. it was disgusting but I got the simple carb & protein. but that stuff doesn't replace real food, like a solid breakfast of eggs & toast for example. I'm no authority, but I did slim down while building muscle on my quest for a body transformation. if we're not doing any weight training, I doubt we can maintain muscle mass by just eating or drinking protein
