I 100% agree with everything you said, but I do believe it’s recommended that women of a certain age (perimenopause into menopause) should probably eat a little more protein than expected. We tend to lose a lot of muscle mass going into menopause and protein can be important to counter this. It’s why weight training, but not necessarily heavy lifting, for older women is also important.
That said, it’s being pushed in everything for dumb reasons (money), plant based protein is best (of course), and fiber is more important for everyone, at least in the US.
Go team psyllium husk!! Try it, you’ll poop better and be so much happier :)
