Most women over 50 aren't eating nearly enough protein, and it shows up as lost muscle, low energy, and a body that feels like it's slipping away no matter how hard you work out.

I'm 59, I weigh 113 pounds, and I eat an average of 130 grams of protein a day. In this video, I'll walk you through exactly why, and how you can figure out the right amount for your own body.

In this video:

• Why the standard protein guidelines fall short for women who lift
• How much protein I eat in a day, and how I hit that number
• What protein actually does for your muscles, strength, and body composition after 50
• How to start eating more protein without overhauling your whole life

I'm a strength/ macro coach and three-time state record powerlifter. I changed my body in my late 40s, and I'm stronger now at 59 than I was at 39. This channel is about helping women over 50 and 60 build muscle, get strong, and live fully, with real science and real experience.
