Protein For Women After 40: Build a Simple One-Day Meal Plan

LIVE WORKSHOP FOR WOMEN 40+ | MAY 21 | REPLAY INCLUDED

Still hungry, snacky or shattered even though you’re eating “healthy”?

Join our £9 live workshop for women 40 and over, and build a simple one-day protein plan for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks — without tracking macros, weighing food, or eating chicken breast like it’s a part-time job.

Protein advice has become ridiculous

Eat more protein.

Get enough protein.

Prioritise protein.

Wonderful. Very helpful. Big round of applause for the internet.

But when you’re a woman over 40 trying to juggle work, family, energy crashes, changing hormones, food noise, and the general admin swamp of life, the real question is much simpler:

What the hell am I actually supposed to eat?

Maybe this sounds familiar:

★ You eat breakfast, but by 11am you’re hunting for coffee and something sweet.

★ You have a “healthy” lunch, but it doesn’t hold you.

★ You get to the evening tired, snacky, and wondering why your "sensible" day has ended with you negotiating with a packet of biscuits.

★ You don’t want a strict meal plan.

★ You don’t want to track every gram.

★ You don’t want to spend Sunday meal-prepping joyless plastic tubs of beige sadness.

You just want to know what enough protein can look like on your plate. Well, that’s what this workshop is for.

This workshop is for you if...

★ You know protein matters, but you’re not sure what “enough” actually looks like. That's The Protein Gap!

★ You eat fairly healthy meals but still feel hungry, tired or snacky later.

★ You want more energy, better fullness and stronger meals without going full fitness-bro.

★ You don’t want to track macros, scan barcodes or weigh everything like you’re running a laboratory.

★ You need ideas for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks that fit real life.

★ You’re vegetarian, vegan, dairy-free, meat-eating, or somewhere in the “I just need options, please” middle.

★ You want a simple plan you can actually use the next day.

Give us an hour and you’ll leave with your protein plan

Inside The Protein Gap, we’ll help you build a simple one-day plan for:

★ Breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks and busy-day backups.

★ You’ll also learn how to make that plan mix-and-match, so you’re not starting from scratch every time you open the fridge and hope inspiration magically appears behind the hummus.

By the end, you’ll know:

★ What protein can look like at each meal.

★ How to use our palm-sized portion guide so you can stop guessing.

★ Where your own protein gap is most likely showing up.

★ How to add more protein without making meals complicated.

★ How to create simple swaps when your day goes sideways.

★ How to choose your easiest first step so you can actually start.

This is not about perfection. It’s about walking away with a plan you can use.

Meet Your Protein Gap Workshop Hosts

We’re Juli Madacey and James Ellis, founders of Fabulous Beyond 40.

We help women navigate the changes that happen over 40 with practical, realistic support across how you think, eat, move, rest, recover, and sleep.

Fabulous Beyond 40 was named Menopause Coaching Company of the Year in 2024 and 2025.

Between us, we bring training in nutrition therapy, herbalism, health coaching and menopause coaching — but more importantly, we spend every week helping women over 40 turn health advice into something they can actually do.

We created this workshop because so many women have been told that protein matters for women over 40, but they’re still left asking:

“Okay, but what am I actually supposed to eat?”

That’s what we’re going to make simple.

❌ No strict meal plan.

❌ No tracking every gram.

❌ No one-size-fits-all diet rules.

Just a clear, realistic way to build a protein plan that fits into your actual life.

Still wondering if this is for you?

What if I'm vegetarian?

You can absolutely join. We’ll include vegetarian protein options such as eggs, Greek yoghurt, cottage cheese, ricotta, hard cheese, kefir, tofu, tempeh, beans, legumes, bean pasta, quinoa, oats, buckwheat, and other useful options. We’ll also talk about how plant-based eaters may need to combine different protein sources across the day, so you can build a more complete and realistic plan.

What if I'm vegan?

You can still use the workshop. The examples will include animal, dairy, vegetarian, and vegan options, so you can build your plan around the foods that fit your lifestyle. We’ll also be clear about where vegan protein sources may need a little more thought, so you’re not relying on foods that are nutritious but not especially high in protein.

What if I can't attend live?

The replay is included. You’ll still be able to follow the workshop, pause the video, complete the worksheet, and build your one-day protein plan in your own time.

Do I need to track macros?

Hell no! This workshop is not about tracking every gram, scanning barcodes, or weighing your food.

We’ll use a simple palm-sized portion guide so you can understand what “enough protein” may look like in a normal meal.

I've tried meal plans before. How is this different?

This is not about handing you a rigid meal plan and expecting you to follow it perfectly.

You’ll build one realistic day using foods you would actually eat.

Then we’ll show you how to make it mix-and-match, so you can keep the structure but swap the protein or change the meal depending on your day.

The goal is not perfection. The goal is a plan you can use.

What if I'm not sure that protein is the issue?

That’s okay. The workshop will help you look at your normal day and spot where protein may already be working well, and where there may be a gap.

You may realise breakfast is fine but lunch is too light.

You may realise your meals are decent, but your snacks are leaving you hungry.

You may realise you’re not as far off as you thought.

Either way, you’ll leave with more clarity.

What if I'm already getting enough protein?

Great. Then this workshop can help you confirm that and make your meals easier to repeat.

You may also spot small improvements, such as spreading protein more evenly across the day, adding better backup options, or making your current meals more filling and supportive.

Is this about weight loss?

Not directly. This workshop is about making protein practical for women over 40.

Protein can support fullness, strength, recovery, energy, blood sugar balance, and body composition, but this is not a restrictive diet workshop or a “drop a dress size fast” promise.

It’s about giving your body more of what it needs in this season of life.

Is this suitable if I'm overwhelmed by nutrition advice?

Yes. Especially then.

This workshop is designed to cut through the noise and give you a clear first step.

You do not need to become your own nutritionist.

You just need a simple way to see what protein can look like across one normal day.
