Mary is 45 years old and should contain roughly 15% of total energy as protein. The Harris Benedict formula estimates metabolic rate. There are various online calculators to help do this, based on your weight, height, sex, age, and how active you are. Based on the formula, Mary needs 1,880 kcal per day. If she consumes that daily, she will neither gain nor lose weight. 15% of 1,880—the proportion recommended to come from protein—is 282 kcal. Because protein contains 4 kcal of energy per gram, this amounts to 70.5 grams of protein spread across the day. Once Mary reaches her older years, 65 and above, she will need to start increasing her protein intake a little, by around 25 grams per day, to a 20% protein diet. This is because the protein drain becomes more leaky with old age, and unless Mary increases her intake, she risks losing muscle mass. [2020] - David Raubenheimer

Ideally, an uptrend is characterized by progressively higher lows and higher highs in price. An ideal downtrend, conversely, is characterized by progressively lower highs and lower lows. A low is considered a point of reversal between a downmove and an up move. A high is considered a point of reversal between an upmove and a downmove. Much more frequently, traders and analysts find on their charts uptrends that are only required to hit higher lows, and downtrends that are only required to hit lower highs. [2009] - James Chen
