The answer to this question is yes. Eating protein at every meal is important for several reasons. Protein is the building block of muscle and other tissues in your body. It helps maintain muscle mass as you age, which can help prevent age-related muscle loss and weakness. Protein also helps you feel full longer, so it’s good for weight management. Since lean muscle burns more calories than fat, maintaining a lean body mass is crucial for weight management. Along with that, you'll get stronger and feel more energized. It helps you maintain bone mass and prevent bone loss caused by aging or dieting (which can lead to osteoporosis).
