Frequently Asked Questions
What are the standard caloric values for each macronutrient?
Protein provides 4 calories per gram; carbohydrates provide 4 calories per gram; dietary fat provides 9 calories per gram.
Why do adults 45+ require higher protein ratios?
Age-related anabolic resistance means muscle tissue requires higher per-meal concentrations of essential amino acids (specifically leucine) to trigger protein synthesis.
What macro split is best for fat loss over 45?
A high-protein balanced split (e.g. 35% protein, 35% slow carbs, 30% healthy fats) spares lean muscle tissue, blunts hunger, and supports stable daytime blood sugar.
