Nutrition for Men Over 40.

Most men over 40 don’t need a new diet. They need three numbers they trust (calories, protein and fibre), a few meals they can repeat on a Tuesday night, and a plan for the restaurant dinners, late-night kitchen visits and weekends that undo the rest. That’s what this section covers, in Canadian terms: Health Canada’s reference values, Canada’s food guide, grocery aisles you actually shop in, and Toronto’s food and drink habits.

Start with the numbers. Work out how many calories a man over 40 needs using the same equations Health Canada publishes, then set your daily protein target. If you’re choosing between keto, fasting, Mediterranean and everything else, read the honest diet comparison before you commit to one. For turning targets into a week of food, the high-protein eating guide shows a 90-minute weekly prep system.

This is coaching, not medical nutrition therapy. If you have diabetes, kidney disease, a heart condition or a history of disordered eating, work with your doctor and a registered dietitian. Coaching can sit alongside that care, never replace it.
