Study suggests eating less protein could be key to healthy aging for most adults (abcnews.com)

A major scientific review is challenging the idea that more protein is always better.

The review, led by pathologist and biomedical researcher Dudley Lamming and published in the journal Cell Press Blue, examined more than 350 studies involving humans, mice, insects, yeast, and other organisms.

The review found that eating less protein, or less of certain amino acids that make up protein, may turn on body processes linked to healthier aging, as well as metabolism, the process by which the body turns food and drinks into energy.

640 mg potassium. 25 grams of plant based protein, though.

From what I can find, the potassium is nearly double that, but maybe my info is outdated. But even with yours, four eggs are about 25g carbs with 275mg potassium. Phosphrous - which I didn't happen to mention - is about the same - but I also take phosphorous binders which helps (in both cases).

However, the annoying thing is that the Huel would be ⅔ of my entire daily fluid allowance - which is 32oz. Which is why I also mentioned the fluid intake, because dialysis-friendly ones tend to be like 12 ounces I think - maybe less, I haven't paid enough attention because I don't use them. heh

But I think you for following up - and while I think it's not useful for me, I think they are useful for some, or maybe even many. :)

I forgot about the liquid restriction. You could make it with less liquid but it would probably be pretty off-putting texture-wise.

They might - I'll double-check with nutritionalist to make sure, but thank you! <3 :)
