Maintain Muscle Mass as You Age: A Comprehensive Guide

The above-quoted table gives us only the minimum daily requirements, and most other tables on protein requirements do the same.

Further, they do not even tell us that their table is no more than the minimum daily requirements.

In my experience, the usual issue is that, if you rely on tables like this one, you will likely slack off for a few days, sooner or later, and sarcopenia will occur, I.e. you will not be able to maintain your muscles at these low-low protein requirement levels.

Further, in my experience, if you ever decide to develop more muscles, your muscle development will be a significant challenge for you, too, unless you double or triple these numbers for protein requirements.

When I convert the recommended grams for my age group, the last one, to ounces, I get 2! That means I should eat 2 ounces of protein per day. I think I can handle that! :-)
