How many grams of protein per pound on GLP-1?
A practical daily protein target on a GLP-1 is 0.8 to 1.0 grams of protein per pound of body weight, or roughly 1.6 to 2.2 grams per kilogram. Where you land depends on your goal. For active fat loss with muscle preservation, aim for the higher end, around 1.0 g/lb. For maintenance, the middle of the range is plenty. For body recomposition with resistance training, the higher end again. Use your current body weight, not goal weight, for the math. A 180-pound person targets 145 to 180 grams a day. A 150-pound person targets 120 to 150 grams. The Phaze protein calculator returns a personalized number in under a minute and feeds it straight into your daily target.
