I think that is one of those YMMV things. I have always been lean and have had great difficulty building muscle. This was in spite of strenuous resistance workouts and eating lots of meat, fish, chiken and eggs at meal times. It all changed when I started having a full-cream milk based protein shake after resistance workouts. I lost a lot of muscle while recovering from a back injury. Post-workout protein shakes enabled me to build a fair amount of muscle very quickly. I was delighted, and I am still kicking myself for relying on mealtime protein for all those years
