Good for you DN!! Protein intake is much more important in mature adults than previously thought. For decades we were taught to increase fruits and veggies while cutting down on the protein rich foods. I personally went with a protein powder supplement. I make a protein shake with it -- add a half cup of berries, some liquid egg white, Greek yogurt, and some ice and almond milk, and it makes a delicious shake.
That said, if you really want to take down those numbers fast -- exercise! Combine four or five 30 minute weight and cardio sessions into a weekly routine and watch those numbers drop quickly.
