How do you guys hit protein goals on GLP-1?

[Sage_1999]

Hey everyone, been training a good while and recently started looking into GLP-1 medications. Genuinely curious how people handle nutrition once appetite drops. For anyone lifting or doing structured workouts: what's the trick to consistently hitting protein numbers? Leaning on shakes more, smaller frequent meals, or shifting when meals happen entirely? Noticed any shifts in strength or recovery along the way? Trying to understand how folks balance fat loss while protecting muscle and performance.

Yep. Hitting daily protein and creatine targets consistently plus lifting three times weekly. Gained real muscle from it. Tracking progress with a body composition scanner.

Yep, definitely lost noticeable strength and stamina during my time on Ozempic. My top piece of advice is to lean hard into protein intake and keep strength training as consistently as you can manage.

Congrats. Just watch what you're eating since Ozempic slows digestion way down. From what I've seen, sticking to smaller protein-heavy meals makes sense since Ozempic can contribute to muscle loss.
