Summary

Two of the most effective lifestyle-based approaches to reduce the risk of adverse health events and enhance quality of life with aging are exercise and a healthy diet. Currently, the Canadian recommended dietary allowance (RDA) for protein is 0.8 g/kg/day, however, several expert groups have advocated for a higher RDA of protein (\~1.2 g/kg/day), along with more evenly distributed daily consumption, in older persons. Eggs are considered a nutrient-rich protein source but have recently been scrutinized. This study will compare a high-protein, egg-containing diet and a high-protein, non-egg diet in healthy older persons.
