Green leafy vegetables are no slouch either. I remember we had a chart with nutrition per calorie and collard greens were way up there. Eggs have much protein per calorie. I agree with foggenboody though, sarcopenia is mostly from inactivity, and particularly from not doing strength training. Your body will find the nutrition in whatever you eat if you lift first.
The chart is in the message you replied to. Dark leafy greens are pretty dense per calorie, but not so much per gram. Something like 800g a day needed of dark leafy greens.
As far as a Sarcoprnia goes you need both activity AND protein. If you neglect protein, your body can’t maintain muscles. As jerkface above was saying that nobody is protein deficient, I was refuting their claim
