Q: I\u2019ve seen various claims online that eating a lot of protein is important for women in perimenopause and beyond. Is that true?<\/strong><\/p>\n

In an Instagram post<\/a> to her 1.3 million followers, Dr. Vonda Wright, an orthopedic sports surgeon in Orlando, Fla., describes how she consumes at least 130 grams of protein per day. Among her regular meal rotations are egg whites, protein shakes, beef sticks and several large servings of meat.<\/p>\n

On social media, Dr. Wright encourages middle-aged women to eat a lot of protein, often recommending that they consume up to one gram of protein per pound of \u201cideal\u201d body weight, or the weight they aspire to.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s far more protein than federal guidelines and most nutrition experts recommend<\/a>. In an interview with The Times, Dr. Wright said that this amount can help keep women strong, and prevent issues like hip fractures as they age. Is she right? We asked scientists and dietitians for their take.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
