It's summer! I eat watermelon daily to help my muscles grow naturally

Besides its deliciously refreshing taste, studies suggest that an amino acid known as citrulline, found in watermelon in high quantities, may assist muscle protein synthesis while improving muscle mass and boosting exercise performance, especially in older adults. So as long as I can find watermelon at the farmer's market I will eat at least 500-700 grams per day or even more on the days I work out. I'm building muscle naturally at nearly 50, so I must take advantage of any whole foods proven to help.
