Build Your First Meal Around Protein and Produce After 40

For your first meal, choose a protein food such as eggs, tofu, beans, or plain yogurt, then add colorful vegetables or fruit and a whole-grain or starchy side that suits you. This combination can create a more substantial meal without requiring calorie counting or special products. Rotate ingredients for variety, and use foods you tolerate and enjoy. Protein and energy needs can change with activity, health conditions, and age; generic portions are not a prescription. If appetite, swallowing, kidney health, blood sugar, or unexplained weight change is a concern, ask a qualified clinician or dietitian for individualized advice. #WeightLossAfter40 #BalancedBreakfast #ProteinAndProduce #HealthyEating
