Mounjaro: my repeatable muscle retention routine for shot day

This is very unglamorous, but it finally made my week feel normal. I kept trying to eat my normal dinner and then wondered why the night felt awful. I am week 24 and my main issue was muscle retention, especially around the weekend. What finally helped was keeping protein steady. I also kept my three things simple: plateau, muscle retention, hair shedding. No big reset, just less improvising. It did not fix everything, but I stopped dreading that part of the week. If you are in the same window, maybe try changing one boring variable before changing everything.

This sounds familiar. I stopped chasing perfect meals and just tried to hit a minimum. I am week 26 on Ozempic 0.5mg, so my timing may be different. That is one of my main issues too. The boring answer worked for me.
I would keep an eye on it. I would message your prescriber if it feels sharp, severe, or keeps getting worse. That is a good question for a check-in too.
