How Much Protein Should You Eat?

One of the biggest myths I keep hearing right now is that women don’t need that much protein.

And honestly? That advice gets more dangerous as we age.

When you’re younger, your body can get away with more. Your hormones are helping drive muscle protein synthesis, especially if you’re active and lifting weights.

But after 40? Everything changes.

If you want to build muscle, support your metabolism, protect your bones, and stay strong as you age, you need more protein and more resistance training, not less.

And here’s the real issue…
Most women aren’t losing muscle because they’re “getting older.”

They’re losing muscle because they’re under-eating protein and under-training for strength.

We’ve normalized sitting all day, eating tiny salads, and calling that healthy. Then we wonder why energy drops, metabolism slows, and body composition changes.

Your body adapts to the signals you give it. So if you want to age powerfully, start giving it the right ones.
