A higher protein intake at breakfast and lunch is associated with a higher total daily protein intake in older adults: a post‐hoc cross‐sectional analysis of four randomised controlled trials

Abstract

A higher protein intake at breakfast and lunch is associated with a higher total daily protein intake in community dwelling older adults. Stimulating a higher protein intake at breakfast and lunch might represent a promising nutritional strategy to optimise the amount of protein per meal without compromising total daily protein intake.
