Since Feb, my volume has dropped significantly from ~15hrs/wk to ~5-6hrs/wk. Overall, I’m eating less. But one thing i immediately dropped was the daily post ride protein shake. Even so, I’ve gained ~1kg since Feb. (too many scones 
). If you’re eating a balanced diet, short of the high volume plans, you more than likely do not need the extra protein. Too many calories, protein or otherwise, is going to become fat.
