Protein Needs for Women 50+:
Most women in their 50s, 60s, and 70s thrive on 1.2–1.6 grams of plant-based protein per kilogram of healthy body weight. This supports muscle, metabolism, bone density, and daily energy.
These snacks support:
✔ healthy weight release
✔ muscle preservation
✔ energy and mood
✔ metabolism
✔ blood sugar balance
✔ hormone health
