Protein isn’t just about building muscle – it helps maintain strength, supports bone density, boosts immunity, and keeps energy levels steady. Without it, simple tasks like climbing stairs, carrying groceries, or getting up from a chair can gradually become harder, threatening independence. Health experts recommend older adults aim for around 1.0g of protein per kilogram of body weight each day. For a 70kg person, that means about 70g per day. To get the most benefit, it’s best to spread protein evenly across meals – aiming for at least 25–30g at each meal rather than trying to fit it all in at once and having protein rich snacks throughout the day in combination with meals. The challenge is that preparing protein-rich meals three times a day and snacks can feel overwhelming, especially if shopping, chopping, or cooking is tiring. That’s where Gourmet Meals can make life easier. Our dietitian-approved high-protein meals, soups, and sides are designed with older adults in mind. They’re nutritionally balanced, easy to heat, and delicious – giving you peace of mind that you’re getting the nutrients you need without the effort. By making protein a daily priority, you’re not just fuelling your body – you’re actively protecting your independence, health, and quality of life. With Gourmet Meals, staying strong and well-nourished has never been simpler. Protein matters after 55 – and Gourmet Meals is here to help you enjoy it every day.
