Salmon

A three-ounce serving provides 22 to 25 grams of complete protein with all nine essential amino acids, crucial for preserving muscle mass when calorie intake drops by 30% or more on Ozempic or Wegovy. It is the richest dietary source of EPA and DHA omega-3s, which reduce systemic inflammation that complicates obesity and type 2 diabetes. Salmon also addresses a severe deficiency: NIH research found 98.6% of GLP-1 users are deficient in vitamin D, and a single serving covers 70% of the daily value. Additionally, it delivers selenium, B12, and niacin for energy metabolism.
