Eating enough protein on Wegovy
Been on Wegovy and Weight Watchers for 4 months, and the weight is coming off nice and slow, which is what I wanted to happen. I am not in a rush, I just want to be healthy for the long run.
That said, the biggest effect of Wegovy is that my portions are much smaller than they used to be because I get full faster. And that means I am struggling to get in all the right nutrients before I am full, particularly protein. I have eggs and cottage cheese in the morning, and chicken, beans, and other lean meats at lunch and dinner, but I still come in lower than the bottom of the recommended range. I also have veggies and some starch/fats, of course, but the bulkier I make the meal the fuller I get, so I can't find the right balance of all of it. I don't really snack much because I am not hungry.
Has anyone had the same experience? How do you get enough in?
