Why food is harder to judge on a GLP-1 medicine

GLP-1 medicines such as semaglutide and tirzepatide reduce appetite for many people. That changes how you eat, and what you need to keep an eye on.

Smaller meals, less room for protein

When appetite drops, it is easy to fill up on a few bites of whatever is nearest. Many care teams ask people on GLP-1 medicines to keep protein up, and that is hard to judge by eye across a day of small meals.

Some foods sit less well

Many people find rich, fatty or very sugary meals harder to tolerate while on these medicines. A record of what you ate makes it easier to spot which meals were behind a bad day and to talk it through with your clinician.

Appointments are weeks apart

Between check-ins, there is no one looking at your plate. A daily record and an alert when the day goes off plan help you adjust tonight, not at the next appointment.

How BiteRight keeps your day on plan

  1. Set the targets your care team gave you

    Add a daily protein minimum, and a fat or sugar maximum if it is part of your plan. Your dietitian can set them for you in their portal.

  2. Log each meal in seconds

    Snap a photo, say what you ate or type it. BiteRight recognises the food and estimates the portion, protein, fat, carbohydrate, sugar and fibre.

  3. Get an alert when the day is off plan

    If the day is short of your protein minimum or goes past a limit, you get a medical notification with the recommendation behind it.

  4. Bring a real record to your next appointment

    Show your prescriber or dietitian what you actually ate, or connect to a dietitian who can review your meals between visits.

See the protein in what you actually ate

Each meal shows its estimated protein, fat, carbohydrate, sugar and fibre, and adds to the day's total that your rules are checked against.

Too tired to photograph it?

Say it instead: "half a chicken wrap and a yoghurt". Voice logging is handy for small or grazing meals.

Ate only part of the plate?

Log what you actually ate, or adjust the portion after the scan, so the protein total reflects your day.

What BiteRight does not do

  • BiteRight is a food record with nutrient estimates. It does not advise on GLP-1 medicines, doses or side effects.
  • Protein, fat and sugar targets should come from your prescriber or dietitian. BiteRight does not set medical targets for you.
  • Nutrient values are estimates. Portions, cooking oil and hidden ingredients can change the result.
  • BiteRight does not promise weight loss or any other health outcome.
