You probably don’t want to be less strong. And while young adults can build muscle easily and efficiently, it becomes harder as you get older because your body doesn’t turn protein into muscle as easily or efficiently.
Therefore, you need higher protein levels to stimulate muscle growth and lessen muscle breakdown. Remember, 1.5–2.0 mg/kg/day of protein is our target for adults.
On the good news side, you can get stronger at any age!
