Protein requirements for women over 40
Protein and metabolism
Protein has been linked to a slightly higher metabolism, it makes you burn more calories throughout the day, even during sleep, so it is an easy way to combat weight gain. Protein can keep cravings at bay by supporting healthy blood sugar levels and helping you feel satiated, especially if you space out your intake at meals.
Protein and muscle mass
Protein is essential not just for post-workout recovery but it also helps maintain muscle mass. Women going through menopause may see a decrease in muscle mass, so protein can help avoid this. Plus, bone mass density also declines thanks to the decline of the hormone estrogen; the correct amount of protein can aid bone health.

Good quality, high digestible protein, like pea protein, is highly favored in plant based protein powders since it contains a better balance of essential amino acids. The standard size serving of pea protein powder as listed on labels often provides about 21 grams of protein. That’s the amount in about 3 ounces of meat, fish or poultry (the size of a deck of cards).
