Time-Restricted Eating and Protein in Older Adults
This study tests whether eating your meals within a shorter time window (like 8–10 hours) while adding a protein supplement can help older adults maintain muscle and health. If you are 60 or older, have a stable weight, and can adjust your eating schedule, you may be eligible.
