One practical addition: a lot of people over 60 find big servings of dairy-heavy foods uncomfortable, which is where the *form* of supplemental protein matters. An isolate-style whey for sensitive stomachs (lower lactose than concentrate) in a morning smoothie can quietly cover the breakfast gap without any digestive drama. (Disclosure: I’m on the FitnMeet team.) Really appreciate a dietitian spelling out the “why” behind the numbers rather than just handing out a target.
