Do Seniors Need More Protein to Avoid Sarcopenia?
The participants ate one of two meal types. (1) 90 grams of high-quality protein per day for seven days in equal amounts at daily meals (about 30 grams each). (2) 90 grams of high-quality protein per day for seven days with most of the protein at dinner (63 grams), 11 grams at breakfast, and 16 grams at lunch.
