I am a (predominately) vegetarian. I eat mostly fish, legumes and tofu as protein. One thing I’ve noticed is even as I eat exceptionally well. Lots of fresh veg and salads, fruits etc.. if I eat too large portions of food I gain weight. Exercise now over 50 requires for me, regular and consistent practice. I walk, do yoga twice a week and half hr movement twice weekly doing core and step ups, weights etc.
I don’t want to be thin as I see many older people thin and lacking muscle mass seem to appear gaunt s
at times. I would prefer toned with strong muscles over thin body with poor muscle mass.
I’ve found snacking is a no no at this age, so I ensure healthful meals with protein portions at each to sustain me. Weight gain can happen overnight when older .. lol
