The good news: it’s not inevitable. A combination of movement (walking, gentle strength exercises) and quality protein spread throughout the day can slow down and even reverse some of that muscle loss.

How much protein does the egg really provide?

The egg is healthy and practical, but it is not unbeatable:

• 100 g of boiled egg ≈ 13 g of protein (one medium egg provides about 6–7 g).

Not bad at all. But you’re going to see that there are foods that leave it far behind and that can be incredible allies after 60.

Below is a list of the lowest to highest protein content approximately per 100 g of food.

10. Skimmed plain Greek yogurt (≈ 10–11 g)

Although it has a similar figure per 100 g to eggs, concentrated and fat-free Greek yogurt wins by:

• high-quality, easily digestible dairy protein,
• less fat and good combination with fruit, seeds or nuts,
• Ideal for those who have a small appetite and prefer to eat something soft.

How to use it: As a breakfast with ground fruits and seeds, in smoothies, as a base for sauces or savory dips.
