Protein
After 40, muscle becomes less responsive to protein, so the dose per meal matters more than the daily total alone.
What matters most
- Target 1.2 to 1.6 g per kg of body weight daily.
- Spread it: 25 to 35 g at each of three meals beats one large dinner.
- Breakfast is where almost everyone falls short.
Do this week
Add 30 g of protein to breakfast tomorrow.
