    well, it depends on a load of info which you haven't given us....although generally speaking a balanced diet should be sufficient. Cycling is not bodybuilding, so the 'growing muscles' thing seems a bit odd.

    twice a day, once a day .. 10 times a day ... makes no difference

    protein intake should be based upon your lean muscle weight ... but even then you have a range of experts that put the intake somewhere between 0.8g to 2g per lb of LBW

    but seeing that you are trying to put on muscle .... I would do a lot of reading about cycling 1st ... THEN ... go and ask on a body building forum

    At least 50 proteins per hectare of epidermis.

    Just eat normally. No need for the protein stuff.

    I train twice a day. I cycle to work, then I cycle back home again.

    A nice lamb shank should see you ok for protein intake.

    I was going to suggest at his age rather than training twice a day, he would be better off having a couple of ham shanks.

    You're right, I mixed up my euphemisms!

    What is your aim, if you are riding then some protein in your diet will help but try and incorporate into your diet e.g. within breakfast of a post recovery meal.

    I stopped racing a few years ago and wanted to gain some shape/wanted to be able to work with my (older/non racing) body weight on bench press (80kg).

    Took 12-months and I am much stronger now, I am still riding though I don't go up hill as fast but that is more age/lack of racing.

    I use MyProtein for brekkie - 100G ground oats/100g protein (choc n orange flavour its lovely) with 200Ml Milk the rest water.

    Pls note if you want to race then lean diet plus protein will help.
