• Energy requirements decline slightly due to a decrease in metabolic rate and loss of lean body mass.
• A balanced diet, rich in nutrients and low in saturated fats, should be maintained during this period.
• Focused should be on consumption of lean proteins, whole grains, vegetables, fruits, and low-fat dairy products.
• Processed foods and sugar should be limited.
