[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Eat enough calories. That’s it. No one in America who has a calorically adequate diet is actually protein-deficient.[/quote]
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 [/quote]
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?[/quote]

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.[/quote]
