Nutrition plays a central role in healthy aging—but it’s not just about what older adults eat. It’s also about when and how they eat, and whether their meals provide the right fuel for energy, muscle strength, and disease prevention.
Starting the day with a meal rich in high-quality protein supports muscle preservation, improved balance, and better blood sugar control—all key to maintaining mobility and preventing falls. Yet, many older adults either skip breakfast or rely on low-nutrient foods. For organizations focused on wellness and prevention, empowering older adults to make better meal choices—beginning at breakfast—is a strategic way to promote long-term well-being.
Why Older Adults Struggle to Maintain Balanced, Nutrient-Rich Diets
Despite knowing the value of good nutrition, many older adults face persistent roadblocks that make it difficult to prioritize well-balanced meals:
- Skipping Breakfast or Eating Low-Protein Foods – Many rely on toast or cereal, which lack the protein needed to support strength and energy. Research shows that older adults often consume breakfasts low in protein, missing a key opportunity to preserve muscle mass and reduce fatigue.
- Lack of Meal Planning Knowledge – Many older adults are unaware of how to combine simple, affordable foods into meals that meet nutritional needs. A 2022 study found that many older adults believe their current diets are healthy, revealing a gap in food literacy and planning skills.
- Appetite and Routine Challenges – Factors such as health conditions, medications, and longstanding habits can affect hunger cues, leading to irregular eating patterns among older adults.
- Limited Access or Physical Barriers – Mobility issues, financial constraints, and other physical barriers can make shopping, preparing, or cooking nutrient-dense meals challenging for older adults.
Left unaddressed, these barriers can contribute to muscle loss, fatigue, and increased risk of chronic conditions such as diabetes or osteoporosis, impacting both quality of life and long-term health outcomes.
The Role of Nutrition Education in Advancing Healthy Aging Goals
For SNAP-aligned initiatives, nutrition managers, and food-as-medicine programs, partnering with platforms like GetSetUp to provide education around balanced meals and protein-rich breakfasts can drive meaningful outcomes:

- Improves Chronic Disease Management – Nutritional education helps members make informed food choices that support heart health and blood sugar control.
- Promotes Independence and Daily Energy – Meal planning guidance boosts stamina and self-sufficiency.
- Reduces Long-Term Healthcare Costs – Better nutrition decisions reduce avoidable complications and hospital visits.
