Eggs

Eggs uniquely enhance GLP-1 therapy by stimulating the body's own hormone release, a synergy the rest of those on this list cannot match. A single large egg delivers 6 to 7 grams of complete protein at 70 to 78 calories, achieving a protein density that is 20% better than the typical whole food. The yolk provides vitamins A, D, E, K2, B12, choline, iron, and zinc, targeting deficiencies found in 68% of GLP-1 users. Choline supports liver health, vital for those with NAFLD. Eggs cook in under five minutes, making them gentler than chicken breast for nausea-prone users—scrambled options are 40% easier to tolerate than dry meats. At $0.25 to $0.40 each, they cost half as much per gram of protein as salmon, removing economic barriers. Three eggs offer 18 to 21 grams of protein at 220 calories, covering 20% of daily needs.
