Are You Getting Enough Protein on GLP-1?
Quick questionnaire to estimate whether your Mounjaro / Wegovy protein intake is likely low, borderline or OK.
Are you getting enough protein on GLP-1?
Borderline
Estimate ~36g · Target ~104g · Gap ~68g
Estimated intake ~36 g vs a common target of ~104 g. Your answers suggest protein is borderline for muscle support during GLP-1 weight loss.
- Aim closer to ~104 g/day (about 35–26 g per eating occasion).
- Prioritise protein first at each meal while appetite allows — Greek yoghurt, eggs, cottage cheese, fish, chicken or a shake.
- On low-appetite days, liquid protein (smoothie, shake, high-protein yoghurt drink) is often easier than large plates.
- This checker estimates intake from habits; it is not a lab test or medical diagnosis.

Why check protein intake on GLP-1s?
Many people hit a calorie deficit without noticing protein dropping first. Low appetite, skipping meals, fatigue, strength loss or hair shedding can coincide with under-eating protein during rapid weight loss. This checker estimates intake from habits and compares it to a common muscle-support range — educational only, not a blood test.

No. It is a lifestyle estimate. True nutritional deficiency is diagnosed by a clinician with history, exam and sometimes labs.
