Not all trainers are qualified to give nutrition advice to their clients. Is he also an RD? Does he have a nutrition background? Deos he work primarily with weight lifters and body builders (notorious protein imbibers)? Does he work with other endurance athletes like you?

Without knowing you, I'm hesitant to give specific advice. However, not knowing your body composition, your height and weight seem to be in a very healthy range.
I've seen him work out with a wide range of people, including women my age and older men. This gym doesn't have very many hardcore body builders. I don't think he has a nutrition background (I will check that out) other than reading books, etc.
