Protein Distribution Seniors
Protein distribution seniors spreads twenty-five to forty grams per meal—breakfast protein gaps weaken synthesis signals when anabolic resistance rises with age.
Protein distribution seniors spreads twenty-five to forty grams of high-quality protein across breakfast, lunch, and dinner—older adults often under-eat morning protein, weakening daily muscle protein synthesis signals. Anabolic resistance means larger per-meal thresholds than younger adults for the same stimulus.
Greek yogurt, eggs, fish, tofu, and lean poultry beat toast-only breakfasts. Distribute before debating exotic amino acid powders.
Pair with resistance training for functional gains.
