Protein and lean mass on GLP-1 therapy: what to monitor
Why protein intake matters during rapid appetite reduction, and what a structured record lets you watch for between visits.
Rapid appetite reduction raises a real clinical question: is the patient getting enough protein to protect lean mass? Between visits, that is usually invisible.
Why it matters
When intake falls sharply, the body can draw on muscle as well as fat. Adequate protein and resistance activity help protect lean mass during treatment. This is a health and function question, not a cosmetic one.
What a record shows
A daily protein log, even a rough one, reveals whether intake is holding or quietly collapsing. Paired with how the patient feels, it flags the patients who need a nutrition conversation before the next visit.
A careful note
Titra surfaces what the patient recorded; it does not prescribe targets or diagnose. It gives you the visibility to raise the question at the right time.
