On Ozempic, Wegovy or Mounjaro, snacking looks different. You may not feel much hunger, yet your body still needs protein and nutrients. The best snacks on a GLP-1 medication are small, high in protein, gentle on the stomach and easy to eat even when your appetite is low.

What makes a good GLP-1 snack?

• Protein-rich (aim for 10 to 20 g) to protect muscle and keep you full.
• Small and gentle: not too greasy, too sweet or too large.
• Easy to prepare and portable for days when you do not feel like cooking.
• Low in added sugar to avoid blood-sugar swings and nausea.

Snack ideas

Snacks to approach with care

• Deep-fried snacks and rich pastries, which can trigger nausea
• Sweet drinks and candy, which add sugar with little nutrition
• Very large portions, even of healthy foods

Tips

• Set a reminder to snack. With low appetite, hunger cues may not show up on time.
• Keep two or three go-to snacks stocked at home and at work.
• Sip water between snacks rather than with them if you feel full quickly.
