How Many Calories Should I Eat on Mounjaro? GLP-1 Calculator (2026)

How many calories on Mounjaro, Wegovy or Ozempic? Free GLP-1 calorie calculator for maintenance, weight-loss range, protein and fibre targets.

How many calories should I eat on Mounjaro? is not the same question as a generic “lose weight calculator.” On GLP-1s, the risk is often eating too little, not too much.

What clinical-style guidance usually looks like

Weight-loss trials for GLP-1 medicines often pair medication with roughly a 500 kcal daily deficit from maintenance needs. That is a starting framework — not a prescription.

What matters in practice:

  • Maintenance — estimated from weight, height, age, sex and activity
  • Weight-loss calories — moderate deficit with a floor (so you are not aiming for crash-diet extremes)
  • Protein — protect muscle while the scale drops
  • Fibre — constipation is a top search for a reason

Free GLP-1 calorie calculator

Use the GLP-1 calorie calculator to see:

  • Maintenance calories
  • A moderated weight-loss estimate
  • Protein target
  • Fibre target

Then, if appetite is crushed, open the 7-day meal planner for high-protein, low-volume ideas — not oversized “clean eating” plates you cannot finish.

Warning signs intake may be too low

  • Dizziness, shaking or constant fatigue
  • Constipation getting worse as food volume collapses
  • Strength dropping week to week
  • Hair shedding paired with tiny meals

Those are reasons to raise nutrition with your clinician — not to “push through.”

Article FAQ

There is no single number. A common educational starting point is maintenance calories minus about 500 kcal, floored so intake is not extremely low. Many adults land roughly in the 1,200–1,800 range depending on size, sex and activity — but appetite on GLP-1s can fall below that.
