Protein on GLP-1s?! Help!

Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, and protein shakes are the highest protein density when meat is off the table - all three are easier on a suppressed stomach than solid beef.
 
Protein shakes are the reliable workaround when appetite suppression makes whole food hits unrealistic - a 30g serving at one sitting is the minimum worth targeting. Liquid form sits easier than meat when the stomach is suppressed.
 
200g is a real stretch on suppressed appetite - protein shakes fill the gap, and front-loading protein at meals makes the compressed intake count more.
 
Liquid protein is the bridge when solids don't work - Premier Protein or Fairlife shakes give 25-30g without triggering nausea. Greek yogurt and cottage cheese tolerate better than meat. Two meals at 80-100g total is achievable.
 
Protein powder in water is the least texture-offensive route on rough days. Cottage cheese and Greek yogurt are high protein, low volume options. Collagen peptides dissolve in coffee or any liquid without changing taste much.
 
The vegan protein challenge on GLP-1s is real - the capacity drops but the daily target stays the same. Concentrating on highest protein-density plant sources (seitan, tempeh, edamame, pea protein isolate) rather than volume-eating becomes more important. Spreading it across 4-5 small servings rather than 2-3 is what actually gets you there.
 
The protein craze framing as aging and muscle loss concern is fair but the mechanism is more specific when GLP-1s are in the picture - the rate of intake reduction these medications drive can be faster than what resistance training alone offsets. The OP's struggle with meat and beef for cholesterol reasons on top of already reduced intake is the compounding problem. Eggs, Greek yogurt, cottage cheese are the practical alternatives that tend to work when meat becomes the barrier.
