It seems almost impossible to get the elderly to eat enough protein. Even those aware that they should be changing their diet. A lifetime of habit and greatly diminished appetite means pushing protein dense foods. I've very grateful for studies such as this, to help with my thankfully scientifically minded seniors. If you can only fit in a spoonful or two, you have to make it count.

Adding and mixing some protein powder, e.g. whey protein concentrate, into various kinds of foods can enrich them greatly in protein, with a very small increase in bulk, so one can have an adequate protein intake without eating much.
