As we age, our bodies become less efficient at building muscle from protein and resistance training. This is called anabolic resistance. That is why it becomes even more important to prioritize both.
Here is the challenge. Many women have spent their whole lives trying to eat less to get smaller. Over time, that leads to eating too little protein and losing muscle instead of building it.
When you eat protein first, a few key things happen. You make better food choices overall, you feel more satisfied, and you give your body the fuel it needs to maintain muscle and metabolism.
Aim for about 0.7 to 1 gram of protein per pound of target body weight and eat it first at your meals. It is one of the simplest changes that makes the biggest difference.
