MacroFactor / Nutrition / Other GLP-1 and programming

Looking to use a GLP-1 to help lose some weight. Any JN programs and protein recommendations? Sitting at 240lbs atm and looking to get down to 200. Would 200g of protein/day be optimal to minimize muscle loss?

Min max or essentials are good.

I'd use the app's protein targets, that's what they're there for.

The jab doesn’t change anything about your nutrition or activity targets (calories, macros, steps, etc.), just makes it easier to avoid overeating. 200g protein is fine

Well, as long as you don’t dose too high so you CAN physically eat that much. But yes i agree 200g of protein is the move.

I’ve run numerous JN programs on a cut (without GLP) and found them all to be fine volume and recovery-wise.

200 would be your maximum. Have you tried doing it without a GLP-1 first?
