Eat protein first, every time
Protein protects muscle, hair, and facial fullness during weight loss. Lead with it before anything else fills the plate. This is the core of preventing Ozempic face — see how to prevent it.
Best foods on a small appetite
- Greek yogurt / skyr — cold, soothing, ~18 g protein.
- Eggs — fast, soft, versatile.
- Protein shake — when chewing is too much.
- Cottage cheese — slow-digesting, good before bed.
- Chicken, fish, tofu — lean, batch-cook ahead.
- Edamame, canned tuna — easy, no-cook.

On nausea days
Cold and bland win: a shake, broth, yogurt, ginger. Keep something down rather than chasing a target.
What to limit
Greasy, very sweet, and large portions tend to worsen nausea. Don't waste your small appetite on low-protein fillers.
