    This one?

    That be it, thanks. Those who said the elderly should decrease protein intake should have a read. It's only one study mind.

    Thank you. I have now read the article, along with some others, and am revising my view that elderly need less protein. Still, the optimum protein intake for an elderly of 120 lbs - that's me - is frequently given as 45 grams per day. I have trouble keeping to that. My protein is usually up in the 60s or even the 70s - and I don't even have to eat meat to surpass 45 grams. According to MFP, my exercise bumps it up to 62, which helps. There is more than enough protein in veggies, grains and dairy food. For instance, a 2-egg omelette with veg use up most of your 45. My diary is open to the public so please feel free to look.
