Shrimp

Shrimp is the most overlooked GLP-1 food because it has the highest protein-to-calorie ratio among common proteins—24 grams per 100 grams at only 99 calories—which surpasses chicken breast and tuna for sheer efficiency. Shrimp is also rich in iodine (critical for thyroid health during weight loss), selenium, vitamin B12, copper, phosphorus, and astaxanthin, which has demonstrated anti-inflammatory properties in studies. Despite containing 161 mg of cholesterol per 100 grams, its minimal saturated fat (less than 0.3 grams) makes it safe for most users with normal lipid profiles.
