Where is my protein coming from?
Plan approachable protein foods across the day rather than waiting for one large meal.
Practical nutrition for smaller-appetite days
Less appetite.
Nutrition still matters.
GLP-1 medicines can reduce hunger or help people feel full sooner. When a full meal feels like too much, smaller, convenient foods can make a thoughtful routine easier to maintain.

Start with the basics
Four questions for your day.
Your clinician or registered dietitian can personalize these priorities for your medication, health history, and symptoms.
Have I had fluids?
Keep water or another suitable beverage visible and sip regularly unless your care team advises otherwise.
Can I add variety?
Choose a mix of foods and nutrients over time; no single snack replaces a balanced eating pattern.
What feels tolerable today?
Appetite and side effects differ. Follow your prescriber’s instructions and seek help for persistent or severe symptoms.
The flexible Zentein system
Three formats. Choose the easiest one.
These are food options, not treatment. Use what fits alongside the eating plan recommended by your healthcare team.
Mix
Collagen powders
A flavour-flexible way to add collagen protein to coffee, water, smoothies, oats, or soup.
- Drinkable option
- Easy to portion
- Hot or cold
Protein bars
Two pieces per package let you pace a portable snack across the day if a whole package feels like too much at once.
- 25 g protein per package
- Two-piece format
- Shelf stable
Elite Squares
A compact crispy square with protein and a whole-food blend in a range of flavours.
- 10 g protein
- 12 essential vitamins
- One compact square
A sample rhythm
Build anchors, not a perfect schedule.
Tap a moment for an example. Adjust portions and timing to your appetite and professional guidance.
Begin with fluids and an approachable breakfast.
If it fits your plan, stir collagen into coffee, water, oatmeal, or a smoothie alongside other foods you tolerate.
Make lunch smaller, not invisible.
A portion of a protein bar can be one component of a small meal or snack when a larger lunch is unappealing.
Keep something compact within reach.
An Elite Square or another suitable snack can help prevent the day from passing without a planned eating moment.
Return to variety when possible.
Build a modest meal from foods you tolerate, including an appropriate protein source, vegetables or fruit, and fluids.

Food support, not medical advice.
Zentein products do not treat, prevent, or manage medication side effects and are not a substitute for medical care or a balanced eating pattern. GLP-1 medicines, nutrition needs, and tolerances vary. Follow your prescriber’s directions and speak with a physician or registered dietitian about persistent nausea, vomiting, dehydration, inability to eat, or questions about your individual needs.
