Determining daily protein needs for older adults
Dear Dr. Roach explains that about 11.2 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight daily is supported by best studies for older adults, with 75 kilograms yielding 75 to 85 grams daily. Higher amounts may help in illness recovery or muscle building but aren’t strongly data-driven. A vegan diet can meet these needs by combining soy grains legumes for complete amino acids.
