Hit your protein target, protect your muscle

How much protein do you need on Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro or Zepbound? Why protein protects muscle on a GLP-1, and the in-app target calculator.

This page explains why protein matters more on a GLP-1 medication: semaglutide, tirzepatide and orforglipron reduce appetite, so you eat less of everything, and without enough protein more of the weight lost can come from muscle rather than fat. It gives a practical range many adults use, about 0.6 to 1.0 grams per pound of goal body weight a day, and answers common questions about protein on Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro and Zepbound. The personalized protein target itself lives in the free GLPeak app, which builds it from your weight, goals and activity and shows it as a daily ring beside calories and fiber. Educational only, not medical advice.
