In this type of situation, what would be the best source of protein?
chicken as a meat. then whey protein isolate as a protein powder supplement. stay away from soy protein for men.
Dairy and eggs. Whey.
In short, the protein powder that comes in big bags or tubs.
Mix with superfood (veggie powder), a banana, some Metamucil, about 50 grams of protein and blend. Water and maybe ice.
It is only recently known that we can’t properly make conditional amino acids, as we age, and we stop churning out as many enzymes and stomach acid, too. There may be some benefit to assuring any complete protein can be properly broken down, which might include the use of digestive enzymes with meals. Also, supplementing with amino acids could be helpful.
Enzymes typically break down proteins to amino acids. Ingesting amino acids gives you those same outcomes, but at a higher cost, financially and with time. If interested, look for Branch-Chained Amino Acids in a supplement powder, typically found in a whey-based one.
These would be my general approach.
Walmart has a great inexpensive protein powder, 30g of protein per scoop, add 8oz of water. Get the chocolate, the vanilla is yuck.
Bone broth is an excellent source of protein because it has a very high protein to calorie ratio, and its good for your gut.
