17 Mar 2020 --- Older people should be spreading their protein intake evenly across all meals to most effectively mitigate against age-related muscle loss. This is according to research from the University of Birmingham, UK, which found that in comparison to young and middle-aged people, older study participants were more likely to eat a lower-quality protein source, such as bread, at lunchtime. The researchers highlight that this offers evidence for revised nutritional guidelines and are calling for a “more sophisticated and individualized” approach.
