Don't sleep on yogurt

Got the chance to start ozempic about three months back to help cut after a bulk. Worked absolute wonders. Problem with this particular cut is genuinely struggling to stomach chicken and vegetables twice daily like usual. That's created a real challenge hitting protein targets. Yogurt's become the fix. Eating a good amount throughout the day mixed with protein powder, nut butter, fruit. Some days when protein's falling short elsewhere I'll go through even more the same way. Sometimes dip homemade protein snacks in it too. Been doing this a few weeks now with zero side effects noticed, actually fewer stomach cramps than before, and no nausea since switching this approach. Before this I'd force myself through plain chicken breast since real protein mattered more than shakes alone. The nutrition math on greek yogurt for protein delivered is honestly incredible.
 
Plain greek yogurt's been an absolute lifesaver for me. I mix in granola, berries, or nut butter depending on whether I need more protein or fiber that day.
 
High protein Greek yogurt, the thick strained kind especially, mixed with fruit, nuts, and some granola or cereal. Stays appetizing even without much of an appetite.
 
Yogurt really doesn't get enough credit, and the nausea relief tracks completely, way gentler on the stomach than something like chicken when the medication's in full effect. Solid suggestion.
 
Congrats on your progress! Getting close to under 200 myself, so excited. Once protein shakes started grossing me out I switched to adding bone broth instead. Canned or boxed versions can pack around 10 grams per 8oz. When eating feels like a real chore, I'll cook up some ramen or udon (not the college dorm kind, the better stuff from the Asian grocery aisle) to pair with it. Sometimes I pan-fry extra chicken thighs with the skin and bone off, cut into bites, call them nuggets for fun. Keep them chilled to grab midday or between meals, dip in whatever sauce, it's a small joy. Plain Greek yogurt is another favorite, mine usually gets peanut butter and honey stirred in. Sometimes granola too (Kodiak makes a solid high-protein version). Haven't tried it myself but there's probably good savory dip ideas using yogurt as the base if that's more your thing. Should really get back into making protein smoothies too. Berries keep it from being too sweet, which matters since sweets don't really appeal to me these days.
 
Yogurt paired with peanut butter is my regular pick. Think the fat content plays a role, slows digestion down. Glad it's working well for you too.
