Welcome to Dishing That Nutrition, brought to you by Nutritional Weight and Wellness.

I'd like to start this morning, this show, by asking you a question.

As you have grown older, do you ever ask yourself, what should I eat to keep muscle on my body?

And not that darn excess fat.

For older adults, one health goal really should be to eat to maintain muscle. On many Dishing Nutrition shows, we've discussed how sugar and processed

and processed carbs make body fat, but the question is, what should I eat to maintain or make muscle? Well, today, Carolyn and I

would like to share some research with you that reports eating sufficient amount of protein is

critical to prevent muscle loss and to promote muscle gain. I don't know about you, Carolyn, but I get asked that in clinic, you know, all the time.

I want to maintain my muscle.

I feel like I'm losing my muscles.

What should I eat to gain muscle?

And it's not just the young athletic.

No, men.

No, not at all.

I mean, we women are really interested in that as well, especially as we get older.

Well, we want to share some ideas and tricks that we've found to add more protein to your diet.

We both have discovered that as people grow older, their taste buds change, and their interest in protein declines. Can anyone out there relate to us? Oh, for sure.

For sure. So we need creative ideas to make sure that we are eating sufficient amounts of

protein daily. When I'm talking about protein, I'm talking about animal protein. Anything with a face,

right? Right. Exactly. So beyond sharing some of the ways to include

protein several times a day, not just once a day, which I often hear from my clients, right?

We're going to share some of our favorite recipes that will surely increase your protein intake.
