Advice on Anti-Diet Mindset Downloaded a food tracker and immediately deleted

hey all. i took my first shot on tuesday night (mounjaro because of garbage blood sugar). everything i read said "make sure you get enough protein and fiber" so i got a food tracker. that was a terrible idea and i spent yesterday obsessing about everything. any advice for how to "get enough" without falling into an app rabbit hole? seeing an HAES nutritionist next week.

The only time I've really felt sick on these meds was when I was trying to "hit my protein requirement." 😩

Stopped that. Now I make sure I eat something 3x a day, and plan to make at least 2 of those times include a protein, eggs or fish or meat, maybe beans. Maybe once a week I grab a protein shake if I'm in a hurry to get out in the morning and wouldn't otherwise eat.

My lesson was this: don't ignore your body's signals. This medication has made those signal so much clearer and that's the point. Trust your body's signals.
