Tired All the Time?

You Might Be Missing This Key Nutrient …

If you’re eating healthily, watching your sugar, and staying active but still feel tired most days it might not be your sleep or stress. It might be your protein.

Why Protein Matters More After 50

As we age, our bodies process protein less efficiently, which means we need more of it to maintain and build muscle. Without enough protein, you might notice:

  • Fatigue and brain fog

  • Difficulty recovering from workouts

  • Slower metabolism

  • Muscle loss (which impacts strength and bone density)

How Much Protein Do You Really Need?

Most women over 50 need around 0.8–1.0 grams of protein per pound of body weight, depending on activity level. So, if you weigh 140 pounds, aim for 110–140 grams per day.

How to Make It Happen

  • Start your day with protein: eggs, Greek yogurt, protein smoothies

  • Include protein at every meal: chicken, tofu, beans, fish

  • Add easy snacks: hard-boiled eggs, protein bars, cottage cheese

Evenly distributing your protein throughout the day helps with energy, strength, and recovery.
