Protein becomes increasingly important for women over 40. It helps support fullness, stable energy, and overall daily comfort. Meals low in protein often lead to quicker hunger and afternoon fatigue.
Simple protein sources like Greek yogurt, eggs, beans, lentils, chicken, tofu, and nuts are easy to include in everyday meals. You don’t need large portions — just steady, balanced amounts.
When meals include protein alongside vegetables, whole grains, or fruit, you support a more comfortable and balanced day.
