Agree. All the middle aged 125 lb women on here saying they “need” 100+ grams of protein are misguided. If you are eating a balanced diet that includes dairy/meat, get enough calories, and aren’t training to be a body builder, you are getting enough protein

If she feels good on 100g then why not? Her body is telling her 100g is working for her. Middle aged women have big jobs and multiple kids and may skip a meal now and then, if you lift, that’s tough on the body, so an extra boost here and there should be ok. Everybody is different. When I did IF with about 40g protein I would get sick constantly, and I would sleep a lot. 80-100g puts me in a state of mental clarity and 7hr zzz is more than enough.

Sometime your body tells you things feel good that are not, in the long run, good for you. Surely this is not new news.

IF itself is bunk so I can’t help you there.

IF is not bunk at all. It’s great for your body to go through fasting periods.

I’ve heard that you can sprinkle nutritional yeast on your food for extra protein, but I’ve never actually tried it.

It's yummy. Kinda cheesy. I put it in/on soups, pasta, anything. I do it for the vitamin B since I'm vegetarian (since college.) get it at Trader Joes.

So as a mammal who evolved from monkeys, I am supposed to not listen to my biological instincts and listen to some person on the internet. Got it!

There isn’t any valid science on this. All the most recent research confirms it’s nothing more than a calorie restriction tool. Taken to the extreme it has negative impact on your body muscle composition.

Just stop eating so much and don’t eat junk.

IF is not for everyone, I admit. For my IF phase it was purely due to missing multiple meals working 12 hours a day @ high intensity. Most women don’t have the ideal set up to do perfectly timed medium protein meals and work out to a scientific program by the best coach in town. We deal with what we have and try to stay afloat.

Actually we aren’t getting enough to stave off sarcopenia and muscle loss and bone density loss in old age. That’s what the purpose is. We see our parents becoming wheelchair bound due to hip fractures and falls and I do not want that for myself. Many doctors who specialize in this area of study agree that women’s hormones in middle age are working against them, why wouldn’t we do what we can to keep our bodies mobile?

Women still don't need 100 grams of protein for bone health.

The studies show 1.2 grams of protein per kg of body weight will maintain bone density. In my case that is about 60 grams of protein.

Well Lean shirataki (sp) noodles under protein based topping. It has no protein value itself but at 0 carbs and calories,, you can eat a lot more of the protein and greens without amping up pasta carbs that you may not need if not doing a lot of high cardio.

You don't have time measure protein in grams. Just eat it. Are you afraid if getting too much or too little
