Macro partitioning
Ensuring adequate protein intake at every eating occasion is essential to prevent loss of lean body mass and malnutrition during rapid weight loss induced by GLP-1 RAs.
Because GLP-1 medications suppress appetite, you may struggle to eat enough. Prioritize protein at every meal to protect your muscles. If you can only eat small amounts, choose high-protein foods. Consider liquid protein sources if solid food is unappealing.
