Gilbert, a PortionIQ nutritionist, suggests GLP-1 users consume at least 1.5g protein per kilogram of body weight daily to counteract muscle loss and nutrient deficiencies linked to reduced appetite.
His sample meal plan includes Greek yoghurt, salmon, sirloin steak, and nutrient-dense snacks, totaling about 130g protein and 1,000 calories below average daily intake, emphasizing micronutrients and healthy fats.
Gilbert advises individualizing plans based on size, sex, and activity, and consulting doctors if appetite is overly suppressed, as excessive restriction may increase risk of deficiencies and excessive lean mass loss.
