[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So I think with that calorie range, 50-60 is doable with a day like this. https://www.eatingwell.com/article/2053610/high-protein-vegan-diet-meal-plan/

90 at that calorie count...not so much.

But also, why did doc "order?" Are you losing muscle mass? [/quote]

Yes, I’m losing muscle and bone since menopause.[/quote]

You may want to try an omni diet and see if you see improvements in conjunction with strength training.

My doctor told me, in a similar scenario, that plant protein is not as bioavailable and that older adults use protein less well. Sarcopenia and osteoporosis are serious conditions that can impact activities of daily living.
