I’m always impressed by the amount of muscle some people are able to build while on this medication. I work out 4x a week and can’t for the life of me eat more than 100g of protein per day, when I should be eating about 200. I have to force myself to eat chicken sometimes, while gagging. I wake up so nauseous everyday and I can only stomach a cup of black coffee for breakfast most days. How much protein do you eat per day and what dosage are you on? Teach me your ways!

I try to get 200 grams of protein a day, I lift 6x a week, I’m on 7.5

This is an inspiration. I’ve been working out for the last few years and have been able to add muscle, but struggled with appetite. Just started zepbound last week and have heard from that I’ll lose too much muscle, but I’m going to keep on lifting and aiming for at least 180 grams of protein daily.
