Last week my jaw dropped when I came across a study showing that American adults over 50 years of age are incredibly deficient in protein. Really? So much for the idea that there is a protein craze going on in this country. HOW can so many adults NOT get enough protein in their daily diet?
Because of my lifelong love of bodybuilding, protein has always been a macronutrient that’s been top of mind when I sit down to eat. I
include a lean source of protein such as fish, chicken breast, or protein shakes at every meal. I always thought that people got enough protein to get by, even if they didn’t get as much as I did.
This week, I’m sending you an article on this... and I hope that you’ll enjoy it and share it with those who can use it.
PROTEIN CRAZE? ADULTS ARE STILL NOT GETTING ENOUGH!
We’ve all been told how important protein is to our health, but it seems that older adults are still not getting enough of this essential macronutrient. Low protein intake is often associated with a lower quality diet and lower physical activity. So how do you go about getting enough?
Have you heard it said that a pound of body fat contains 3500 calories; and that all you have to do is cut 3500 calories out of your diet to lose an extra pound? If so, you’re not alone! But...is it true?

"I want to encourage all people around me and help others bring out the best in them by offering a lifestyle that will help them through all aspects
of life. I lost my mother to cancer fifteen years ago and I want to give people more quality time with each other. This in itself is rewarding enough.
I realize there is no price tag on life. And, I want to give my wife and children as many days in life that I can. We must fight "tooth and nail" to prime ourselves with the knowledge and determination to take on everything life throws our way."
