foodose GLP-1 nutrition

Daily calorie, protein, carbohydrate, fat and fibre targets for someone taking a GLP-1 receptor agonist, plus the appetite ceiling: a dose aware estimate of the most they are likely to manage in a day. Use it for anyone taking or considering one of these medications, where a standard calorie calculation would assume an appetite they do not have. Returns the full derivation with a PubMed citation per step. Educational only. Not medical advice, not a diagnosis, and not a substitute for the clinician who prescribes the medication. Not appropriate for pregnancy, breastfeeding, insulin or sulfonylurea use, a history of disordered eating, or anyone under 18.

The appetite suppression factor foodose models for a given medication and dose, with the evidence it is anchored to and the licensed doses for that drug. This is the site's original data: the estimate of how much less a person eats at a dose, rather than how much weight they lose. Call with no medication to get the whole table.

Per 100 g nutrition for the foods foodose uses, each with a realistic serving size and a GLP-1 tolerance rating describing how well it tends to sit when appetite is low. Free to use with attribution.

Published GLP-1 recipes with per serving calories and protein, every ingredient traceable to a USDA FoodData Central record. Useful when someone asks what to actually eat, rather than what their targets are.
