Why protein first

When your appetite gets smaller, what you eat matters more. Protein helps you feel full and supports the muscle you want to keep while you lose weight. These recipes put protein first, so a smaller plate still counts.

Stay full longerProtein-rich meals help keep hunger in check between meals.
Support your muscleGetting enough protein supports the muscle you want to keep.
Small portionsServing sizes that suit a lighter appetite.
Real foodEggs, chicken, fish and vegetables. Nothing hard to find.
Maple walnut and blue cheese salad with crispy bacon and pickled apple
Maple Walnut & Blue Cheese Salad: 21.1 g protein, 11.6 g carbs.

Not on a GLP-1 yet, but wondering if it's right for you?

A licensed U.S. provider reviews every request and decides whether treatment makes sense for you. Not all treatments are available in every state.
