RE: How Much Protein Do You Need?

Thanks! I think resistance training is probably the healthiest option for muscle gain in the elderly🙂

High protein and low carb/fat helps me in 2 ways. Protein takes energy to digest, the thermic effect which is about 200 calories a day. And I bulk up my meals with high fiber, low starch, vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, brussels sprouts etc. They have something like 30 calories a cup and fill me up and take a bit of time to digest. So I can take an otherwise small meal, and turn it into a big meal without adding many calories.
