Sarcopenia is a real thing, happening to people who eat a “healthy” diet.
The fact of the matter is most people are not eating enough bioavailable and complete protein (with all the essential amino acids). If your missing any of the amino acids you can’t use that “protein”
Not to mention food labels use crude protin, a measure of nitrogen, they don’t actually measure the amino acids.
Sadly this means many people trying to hit their moderate protein targets of 1g/kg bodyweight are absolutely not getting enough protein.
Using this graph as an example, different foods have different amounts of bioavailable nutrition. Nobody is going to eat 12kg of processed grains a day to hit their minimums.
