Protein at every meal
Eggs, fish, pulses: spread across the day. Protein contributes to the maintenance of muscle mass (authorised claim, Regulation (EU) 432/2012).
Goal: senior needs
Oli keeps an eye on suitable intake after 65.
With age, the need for protein and for certain micronutrients changes. Oli follows those reference points calmly, without guilt, with values that are sourced when the food appears in a reference table, and flagged as estimates when it does not.

What Oli is for
“Senior needs”, concretely
This goal diagnoses nothing: it offers balanced-diet reference points suited to needs that change after 65.
The reference points draw on the ANSES recommendations for older adults: protein intake spread across meals, protein contributing to the maintenance of muscle mass (authorised claim, Regulation (EU) 432/2012), regular hydration even without a marked feeling of thirst, and a place kept for dairy and green vegetables. These are general reference points: Radish does not assess any risk of undernutrition and replaces neither a medical assessment nor personalised dietary supervision.
Please note: unintentional weight loss, a marked drop in appetite or difficulty swallowing should not be tracked in an app alone: they call for medical advice.

How Oli works alongside you
Once the “senior needs” goal is chosen, Oli carries occasional reference points, in a calm tone — never screening, never medical advice.

Common mistakes
What most often weakens eating well after 65
Cutting portions because of a smaller appetite
A gradual drop in appetite can go unnoticed; it is worth reporting to a healthcare professional, not simply compensating for.
Drinking only when thirsty
The sensation of thirst fades with age (Santé publique France, reference points for the over-75s): drinking at set times is a more reliable habit.
Skipping protein at lighter meals
Breakfast or a snack are still opportunities to take in protein, and they are often the ones overlooked.
Self-supplementing without advice
Supplementation (vitamin D, B12, calcium) is decided with a healthcare professional, not by trial and error.
Frequently asked
About the “senior needs” goal
Why do protein needs change with age?
With age, maintaining muscle mass calls for particular attention. Protein contributes to the maintenance of muscle mass (authorised claim, Regulation (EU) 432/2012); spreading intake across the day's meals is a practical reference point drawn from the ANSES work on older adults, not an additional health effect.
Does Oli flag a risk of undernutrition?
Oli carries general wellbeing reference points, not a screening test. Unintentional weight loss or a drop in appetite should be reported to a doctor or a registered dietitian, not simply tracked in an app.
Are supplements needed after 65?
Radish recommends no supplement: any supplementation (vitamin D, B12, calcium) is decided with a healthcare professional, on the basis of an individual assessment.
Does Oli replace medical dietary supervision?
No. Radish counts and displays sourced values; it makes no diagnosis and does not follow a medical condition.
Can I use Oli for someone I care for?
Yes, the app can be used to help follow the eating of someone you care for, alongside medical advice if warning signs appear.
