Numsgil:
Two comments (for my own reference :P)

1. No slime eating bots?  Aww...

2. I was planning on differentiating protein (which could be used to make things like shell, and poison, etc.) and muscle (which specifically increase a bot's abilities.)

shvarz:
1. No problem, w can let them eat slime.  I just don't want to bother with it at this point.  The other three are much more important and give me headaches already.

2. I think protein is protein.  You make a stock, then at no cost differentiate it into watever you need.  This is more elegant and true to nature.

PurpleYouko:
Some creatures actually specialize in eating slime (I think)

 :D  PY  :D

Numsgil:
Basically, muscle (or protein, whatever you want to call it) taken from other bots needs to be broken down or converted into a form you can use.  By that, I mean that if I eat a huge chunk of cow meat my own muscle doesn't grow right away.  But it does give me the raw materials to make muscle when my body is ready.

That's why I was thinking that muscle <-> protein + nrg.  Then protein is the stock and can be used to make shell, poison, muscle, or whatever.

shvarz:
Proteins are a special case.  The reason is that they are custom-built.  Take fats - they just go straight to your fat storage.  Or sugars - straight to wherever they are needed.

For muscle it is:

muscle> am.acid + energy
