A woman between 80 and 95 years old generally needs about 1.0 to 1.5 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight daily (roughly 0.45 to 0.68 grams per pound).
Daily Protein Needs
- By Weight: Multiply your weight in kilograms by 1.2 (for example, a 130-pound/59 kg woman needs about 70 grams of protein per day). That turns into 2.47 oz.
- Weight Watchers used to allow 6 oz meat per meal for women, 8 oz for men. Another Flounder dinner
- Sample dinner: Good Housekeeping: By Delia A. Hammock, M.S., R.D.
- Serve 4 ounces of flounder (our Zesty Lemon-Herb recipe is under 200 calories per serving). Eat with 1 cup cooked couscous and 1 cup steamed broccoli. Enjoy with a single-serve ice cream for dessert and you can go to bed happy.
- General Range: Most older women in this age group need between 60 and 90 grams of total protein daily, depending on their weight, muscle health, and activity level. Higher amounts (up to 1.5 g/kg) may be recommended if dealing with frailty, recovery from illness, or significant muscle loss.
- Per-Meal Breakdown
- Per Meal: Aim for 25 to 35 grams of protein at each main meal. 35 x
- Per Snack: Include 10 to 15 grams of protein if adding snacks.
- Spreading protein evenly across meals helps the body process it better and prevents age-related muscle loss.
- To change grams to ounces, as our steaks are weighed by ounces, not grams.
- 1 gram=0.035274 multiply
- or
- 35 (example) grams divided by 28.34952. =
- 70 grams of protein is 2.4 ounces
