Cooking and planning high protein meals while on GLP-1s can be challenging at first, especially if you’re not used to cooking particular ingredients or planning every meal and snack. That’s why we’ve teamed up with dietician Mei Wan to create a daily meal plan of meat-based dishes packed with protein to support muscle maintenance and keep you feeling full.
GLP-1 medications can lead to a reduction in appetite. With a lower food intake, the risk of muscle mass loss is higher, so ensuring a high protein intake is crucial. Protein plays an important role in muscle preservation, supporting satiety, blood sugar regulation, immune functions and overall metabolic functions. Ensuring you eat enough daily protein will help to reduce the loss of lean muscle mass that typically results when using GLP-1 medications.
If you’re struggling to think of what to eat, we recommend these protein-rich healthy meal options for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snack time. We have designed these recipes with your goals in mind.
