7-Day GLP-1 grocery starter list

Build a week around protein anchors, low-sugar backups, fiber-rich sides, and small meals that are easier to repeat when appetite changes.

Use this as a starting structure

This checklist is general food-planning information. It is not medical advice. Ask a licensed clinician or registered dietitian about personal protein targets, side effects, allergies, diabetes care, kidney disease, pregnancy, or eating disorder history.

Protein anchors

Plain Greek yogurt or skyr Cottage cheese cups Rotisserie chicken or grilled chicken strips Eggs or egg bites Tuna, salmon, or chicken packets Tofu, edamame, or turkey meatballs Protein shakes for low-appetite backups

Simple rules

Start with protein, then add fiber and fluids.
Keep sweet drinks and dessert-style yogurts out of the default cart.
Use small portions first; save leftovers intentionally.
Increase fiber gradually if digestion is sensitive.
Check sodium on packaged proteins and restaurant meals.
