Google is not clear on this topic. For example if my daily protein intake is 100g and I go over it does it make me grow bigger muscles or recover faster?
In: Biology
neither, if your protein needs are being meet.
Getting adequate protein is necessary to facilitate both muscle growth and recovery. But only to a point.
One the body is getting all the protein it needs, eating more won’t come with additional benefit.
Think of it like gasoline.
Putting the octane your car needs in it will allow it to run as intended. If you put 88 octane gas in an engine indented for 93, it won’t run correctly – you’ll get misfires, less compression (and therefore power) than it’s designed for, etc..
Putting 93 octane in car build for 88 will do nothing.
