Energy balance
Consumers currently taking a GLP-1 consume significantly fewer calories than the other groups surveyed, with calorie reduction while taking a GLP-1 for weight loss estimated to be around 720 to 990 calories.
Practitioners should consider that GLP-1 users may have lower caloric intake, which could influence dietary recommendations.
