In most cases protein is good in diets, even if there is little to no activity because it will help maintain muscle mass.
When the body feels deprived of food it will go to other energy sources. One of them being muscle. That's why you simply have to intake protein in just about all diets otherwise you will lose muscle mass.
So it's good he's drinking protein but at the same time he should accompany it with exercise, whether it be cardio or weight.
If he's not doing anything with the protein he will urinate a lot of it. Ask him what his urine color is, because his liver might be working overtime.
