Excellent subject and good points. At 68, I still follow my bodybuilding routine and try to build as much muscle as possible. For me I've noticed that as I age, my appetite also has changed and I'm just not able to eat the same amount of food (Protein) as I age. Also my digestion has changed. So, force feeling is a NO NO. What I do is make sure that my first meal of the day starts with at least 30 grams of protein. Then I will have two more whole food meals of at least 20 grams of protein. Sometimes at night I will have a protein drink. I'm a big guy at 6'3" 235lbs and my weight doesn't vary. Sometimes it not how much I take in, but what and when I get it. Thanks Eric.
Could you please do one on vitamins and macros. I use to make a shake from yogurt with banana's and berries with cooking coco to have after a workout at the gym. As with a heart condition I can not take health suplerments. I feel it worked for me do you think I was get enough out of this concoction?
Eric - I went to a whey protein powder because I was losing muscle mass in my 70s. After two years my blood work showed declining numbers for kidney and liver problems so I stopped. I now try to get higher amounts of protein through eggs and meat.
Hello Eric! I love your videos, I do have a question foe you--- have you considered partnering with a Registered Dietitian? They could add some great content to your channel and help our seniors understand nutrition as they age. If you are interested, I would love to have a conversation with you. I'm a Dietitian and I would love to do some collaborations with you. Restoring Bodies through nutrition is what I do. Looking forward to hearing from you soon! Tammie S. Brown, MPH, RDN, LD
