Started wegovy tablets this week and using nutrachc on the glp settings. I’m failing every day with protein numbers. I usually eat low upf, home cooked. Have swopped to protein weetabix and protein baby bel and trying a sort of low carb, atkins approach but protein is the killer.

I have scrambled eggs and smoked salmon for breakfast (which sounds more posh than it actually is!) and a coffee with a scoop of collagen powder. If I’m in the office I have tuna salad or something like that for lunch and then dinner is things like chicken or beans or basically any way I can shove protein and fibre into my meals.

Lentils. Cooked and cooled in a salad with veggies etc.

Prawns. High protein, very low calorie and great in salads, sandwiches and stir fry.

I have protein yogurt (greek one from Tesco) with blueberries and honey for breakfast

A warburtons protein bagel with Longley farm cottage cheese (the only one I'll eat) and ready cooked flavoured chicken (mango and lime is my current favourite) for lunch

I drink clear whey from My Protein. I love the raspberry lemonade and the vimto flavours, it's basically just squash but with 20g protein.

The Merchant Gourmet pouches of beans, lentils and quinoa are excellent for quick protein meals. They are not cheap, but I stock up when they are on offer, and don’t use them all the time.
