Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This is an intervention study, aiming to increase protein intake, by increasing egg consumption in community dwelling older adults aged 55 years and over, by providing recipes to increase flavour and variety in egg dishes.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Individuals will be randomized to either receive the intervention or to a control group, where the intervention group will receive 6 recipes every two weeks for a 12 week period, and at the start, after 12 weeks and after 6 months egg intake, protein intake, body protein status, and various functional measures of muscle function will be assessed in both intervention and control group.
