How do I get enough protein when I have no appetite on GLP-1s?

Protein questions are common because users want to protect muscle but often feel too full to eat normal portions. The first goal is not perfect macros. It is noticing whether you repeatedly miss a protein floor because appetite is too low. Track first tolerated meal, protein timing, skipped meals, strength, fatigue, hair shedding, and weight-loss speed. GLP-1 success can hide a new problem: food becomes less interesting, but the body still needs enough nutrition. Social posts often ask for shake brands or meal ideas, but the deeper issue is whether the user has a repeatable protein rhythm. What to track: - Protein at the first tolerated meal - Skipped meals and days where appetite is near zero - Strength training, fatigue, hair shedding, and body-photo change - GI tolerance to shakes, dairy, texture, sweetness, and meal size Community answer: - The best response asks what the user can tolerate, not what worked for someone else. - BodyM should help users identify protein windows before appetite drops later in the day. - If intake is persistently too low, professional nutrition support matters. Safety boundary: Ask a clinician or dietitian if intake is consistently too low, eating feels unsafe, or you have medical conditions affecting nutrition. Next action: Use the protein tracker to find your first reliable daily protein window.
