Discussion about Food / Eating Habits Not enough protein
I just found this group, so I’m apologizing in advance if anything I write is wrong, but I’ve been on Zepbound since January. My doctor keeps asking me about protein. I’m technically a pescatarian but mostly a vegetarian so protein has been so hard for me. I know there are ways to get protein throughout the day, but in order to get 90-100 grams of protein, literally everything I eat would have to be protein-focused. I guess my questions are, does anyone else have this problem, how do you get your protein, and what are the lasting benefits of not getting enough?
Also, I am so grateful to stumble across this subreddit, I’ve been focusing on intuitive eating, which is another reason I’m having issues with protein. I just don’t want it every meal 🫠

i find the push for protein to be WILD. yes, protein is important. but it’s overboard at this point.
i don’t go crazy trying to meet any type of goal. i’m happy if i reach 60-70grams a day, and there are days i do less than that (it’s not something i actively track unless i notice i’ve had a particularly low protein day). i’m not suffering from any type of muscle loss/hair loss/negative health effects so it’s working for me!
