Will protein powder make me bulky after 50?

No. Bulking requires a calorie surplus and heavy resistance training. One serving of protein powder within your daily calorie needs supports lean maintenance, not mass gain.

How much protein should seniors use if they don’t want to bulk up?

Most adults over 50 do well with one serving daily (about 20–25 g) alongside protein from meals. Total daily intake commonly falls around 1.0–1.2 g per kg body weight. Consult your doctor if you have kidney or liver issues.

Is whey or plant-based protein better for older adults?

Both can work. Whey isolate is fast-absorbing and typically low in carbs and fat. Plant-based options suit dairy-free diets and can be gentler on digestion.

When is the best time to take protein powder for lean maintenance?

After light strength or mobility work, or between meals as a snack. Mix with water or unsweetened milk alternatives to keep calories low.

How can I keep protein shakes low in calories?

Use one scoop, avoid sugary add-ins, and blend with water, ice, or unsweetened almond milk. Keep portions consistent and track daily calories.
