Why protein gets attention

When appetite is reduced, total food intake drops, and it's easy for protein to fall along with it. Because protein supports muscle maintenance, many people focus on protecting it when they're eating smaller meals.

Making protein easier

Smaller appetite means every meal has to work harder. A protein shake can be an easy, gentle way to reach your intake when a full plate feels like too much.

Protein needs are individual, especially while on GLP-1 medications. This is nutritional support, not medical advice. Your healthcare professional can help you set the right target for you.
