"The Protein Priority: Counting Grams Over Calories for Health and Muscle Building"

Health and fitness experts are advocating for prioritizing protein intake over calorie counting, recommending at least 100 grams of protein per day, as opposed to the current dietary guidelines. Consuming higher protein amounts can help prevent muscle loss, support better body composition, improve fat loss, and enhance blood markers, particularly as individuals age. Dr. Gabrielle Lyon emphasizes the importance of high-quality protein sources and resistance training to maintain healthy muscle mass, reduce the risk of age-related health issues, and support overall well-being.
