Not everyone can be an athlete and few people exercise enough to justify the same calorie and protein budgets as athletes.

- nradov 4y agoEveryone who isn't severely physically disabled can (and should) be an athlete if they want to have a long healthspan. High protein intake is essential to prevent sarcopenia as we age and our digestive systems become less effective at extracting those nutrients. Please read though the reference I provided above instead of spreading misinformation.
- paulryanrogers 4y agoCan you link to an original source? I couldn't find one following that spammy blog. From what I could find sarcopenia's exact causes aren't fully understood yet. Regardless of the correct quantities protein does not need to come from animal sources. And if we want to live with less suffering and environmental destruction we'll need to reduce reliance on animal protein.
