Protein and Muscle Preservation
Understand why protein distribution and strength work matter during weight change.
What to know
Protein needs are individualized and can be affected by age, activity, kidney health, intake, and clinical goals.
Protein does not replace resistance exercise or adequate overall nourishment.
Large changes or supplements may be inappropriate for some conditions.
This week’s practice

- 1
Identify the meals where protein is regularly missing.
- 2

Questions to take into care
“Is there a reason I should limit or modify protein?”
“How should we monitor function or body composition?”
