What to eat on semaglutide.
What should I eat on semaglutide?
Focus on protein at every meal, plenty of vegetables and fiber, and steady hydration. Lean proteins, Greek yogurt, eggs, beans, fish, and fruit and vegetables all help you stay nourished on a smaller appetite. Try our protein calculator and recipes to make it easy.
What foods should I limit on a GLP-1?
Many people feel better easing up on greasy, fried, and very rich foods, large portions, and excess added sugar — these can worsen nausea and bloating while digestion is slowed. Go gradually and notice what your body tolerates.
How much protein should I get on semaglutide?
Protein helps protect muscle while you lose weight. Many adults aim for roughly 20–30g per meal; your ideal target depends on your body and goals. Our protein calculator gives a personalized estimate to confirm with your provider.
How do I get enough fiber without bloating?
Build fiber up gradually, drink plenty of water, and mix soluble and insoluble sources. Our fiber calculator helps you find your daily target and ramp up comfortably.
What can I eat when I have no appetite?
On low-appetite days, lead with protein and choose nutrient-dense foods so small amounts count. Smoothies and protein shakes are an easy way to get nutrition in when solid food feels like too much.
