Protein: The Unsung Hero of Your Midlife Breakdown

Here’s the thing about menopause: everything’s changing, and none of it asked for your opinion. One day you’re just living your life, and the next your muscle mass ghosts you and your metabolism files for divorce.

Enter: protein. Not glamorous. Not trendy. Just quietly saving your dignity one bite at a time.

Why you need it:

• Because your body is now in the business of breaking down muscle like it’s a clearance rack.

• Because you’re not imagining it—your jeans do fit differently, and no, they didn’t shrink.

• Because feeling full for more than seven minutes would be nice.

• 
  

What counts: Eggs. Chicken. Tofu. Beans. Greek yogurt. That one protein bar that tastes like regret but keeps you from gnawing your arm off at 3pm. Spoiler: that sprinkle of cheese on your salad doesn’t count.

The goal: Roughly 90–100 grams a day. Or more if you're active, lifting things, or chasing teenagers through emotional minefields.

Bottom line: 

You don’t need to obsess, track, or start blending raw liver into your smoothie. But maybe... just maybe... add some protein.

 Midlife is wild enough without feeling like you’re being slowly deflated.
