Frequently Asked Questions
What should I look for in a meal delivery service while on GLP-1?
Prioritize protein content (aim for 25g+ per meal), appropriate calorie density (not too low, you still need nutrients), and variety to prevent food aversion. Avoid services with very high sodium, as GLP-1 medications can affect blood pressure.
How many calories should I eat per day on Ozempic or Wegovy?
Do not go below 1,200 calories per day for women or 1,500 for men, even if your appetite is very low. Muscle loss is a real risk on GLP-1 drugs with extreme calorie restriction. Most clinical guidelines suggest a 500–750 calorie deficit from your maintenance level.
Is Trifecta or Factor better for GLP-1 users?
Trifecta wins on protein density, which matters most for preserving muscle on GLP-1 drugs. Factor wins on convenience and variety. See our Trifecta vs Factor comparison for a full breakdown.
Can I use meal delivery services with Mounjaro (tirzepatide)?
Yes. The nutritional principles are the same: high protein, appropriate calories, fiber-rich vegetables. Mounjaro users often experience stronger appetite suppression than Ozempic users, making the convenience of ready-made meals especially helpful.
What is the minimum protein I should eat per day on GLP-1 medication?
Current clinical guidance suggests 1.2 to 1.6 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight to preserve muscle during GLP-1-induced weight loss. For a 180-pound person, that is roughly 100 to 130 grams per day.
Do these meal services help with GLP-1 side effects like nausea?
Smaller, frequent meals with low fat content can reduce nausea. Services like ModifyHealth offer lower-fat clinical meal plans. Avoid greasy, fried, and very high-fat meals, which are more likely to cause GLP-1-related GI side effects.
How much do these GLP-1 meal services cost per week?
Factor starts at about $110 per week for 10 meals. Trifecta runs $140 to $170 per week. Sunbasket runs $120 to $150. ModifyHealth is highest at $160 to $180 per week. All offer first-box discounts.
Can I use Trifecta or Factor on Mounjaro (tirzepatide)?
Yes. The nutrition principles are the same as for Ozempic and Wegovy: high protein, appropriate portion size, lower fat content. Mounjaro tends to suppress appetite more aggressively, so the convenience of ready-made meals matters even more.
Are these meals heat-and-eat or do I need to cook?
Trifecta, Factor, and ModifyHealth meals are fully cooked and ready in 2 to 6 minutes in the microwave. Sunbasket Fresh and Ready is the same. Sunbasket meal kits require 15 to 20 minutes of cooking. Daily Harvest is mostly heat-and-blend.
Which service has dietitian support for GLP-1 users?
ModifyHealth includes registered dietitian consultations free with subscription. Factor offers paid dietitian add-ons. Sunbasket offers some support through its diabetes-friendly program. Trifecta provides plan-level macro guidance but not 1-on-1 calls.
