Most people over 60 eat too little protein, eat it at the wrong times, or both. Which means most of the day is spent in muscle-loss mode. This is the guide that fixes it.
- What 35 grams actually looks like — photographed portions of meat, fish, eggs, dairy and plant proteins, so you stop guessing
- The 3+1 Rule: how many protein-anchored meals a day, and when a fourth one before bed is worth it
- A printable cheat sheet for the fridge, with your ten best protein anchors on one page
About the author - Joe
I’m Joe Burjoski, age 65. I lift five days a week, I read the research, and I’ve spent years working out what actually holds up as a body gets older, mostly by testing it on myself.
I want to help people 60+ stay strong and capable for decades. Every month, I write down what works for people our age. Written in plain language, with real numbers and sources you can check for yourself.
We’re on the same road – to stay fit and stay young.
