Yes. A major factor in promoting whey and other protein supplements, rather than just getting protein in meals, is this idea that they push that you have to get regular pulses of protein in a day, at least a certain amount, and if you don't get the timing just right every day, you've somehow missed out on a muscle building or at least preserving activity. I think it's probably more important just to make sure you get enough on a regular basis, there's not a whole lot of data on taking all your protein in a small number versus a large number of means--one study in older women showed one larger protein meal and then smaller protein feedings, under that threshold we're talking about, as more effective than getting about 20 grams per meal, but that was just the one study.

At age 71 I fall into that "senior" category. I eat 2 meals a day, breakfast and lunch. I have close to 60 gms of protein at breakfast and 30 gms at lunch, give or take. This is usually from either beef or sardines. I don't use any protein powders. I don't claim that this is optimal, although it may be, or the only way to do it, only that it seems to work for me. I don't snack in between meals.

I totally agree with you.

My son likes to work out. He put some effort into when he drank his protein shakes. Eventually, he quit the shakes and just works out. Just working out gives him the muscle and strength he is looking for. Meaning, eating a good diet, eating only when hungry, and working out occassionally keeps putting on the muscle.

( of course, as a teen boy he has youth and testosterone to help )
