I'm 59 and do the usual type of stuff that brings people to this group. I was carping to a coach friend about difficulty in improving with weight training and he said I needed to be eating 1g protein per pound of body weight.
I looked at the science for this and its just all over the place, so I'm turning to anecdote. Have other older athletes found any benefit to consuming this much protein? I would love to stem some of the muscle loss that seems to have come through aging, for example.
