The Science Behind NutriPlanPro 50+

Most nutrition apps won't tell you where their numbers come from. This one will.

Energy estimates

Mifflin–St Jeor equation

NutriPlanPro 50+ uses an established equation to estimate resting metabolic rate—the energy your body uses at rest. It combines basic personal information to create an estimate, not a direct laboratory measurement.

Protein after 65

PROT-AGE Study Group

The PROT-AGE position paper explains why many adults over 65 may need more protein than the standard adult recommendation, particularly when maintaining muscle and function is the goal.

Protein across the day

Paddon-Jones and colleagues

This research discusses why spreading protein across meals may matter, rather than focusing only on one daily total. NutriPlanPro 50+ uses that principle to support practical meal planning.

Published guidance we follow

Public sources, clearly identified.

These organisations do not endorse NutriPlanPro 50+ or Over50FitLife. Citing them means only that we follow or consult their published guidance where relevant.

We follow relevant published CDC guidance on healthy aging, activity, and chronic-disease awareness.

Research-informed, never arbitrary

Published evidence is a starting point—not medical advice.

Grounding our guidance in published research means our recommendations aren't arbitrary. It does not mean they're personalised medical advice. NutriPlanPro 50+ accounts for common conditions and medications, but it can't know your medical history, your lab results, or how your medications interact with your diet. Your doctor can.
