High-protein meal plans for GLP-1 users — anyone have experience?

My contribution — something sweet for when the cravings hit:

Protein Cookie Dough Bites (makes ~20)

• 200g chickpeas (tinned, drained and dried)
• 2 scoops vanilla protein powder
• 3 tbsp maple syrup
• 2 tbsp almond butter
• 40g dark chocolate chips
• Pinch of salt, splash of vanilla
• Blend chickpeas until smooth, mix everything, roll into balls, refrigerate
• Per 2 bites: ~110 cal, 8g protein

They taste like actual cookie dough and you cannot tell there are chickpeas in them. My husband eats them and has no idea they're "healthy." 😏

Can I be real — I've tried meal prepping and I just can't. Between two kids, full time job, and the GLP-1 making me tired on weekends, standing in the kitchen for 2 hours on Sunday is not happening.

My "meal prep" is buying pre-made stuff that's high protein:

• Costco rotisserie chicken — shred it, lasts 3-4 days
• Pre-cooked hard boiled eggs (Costco again)
• Greek yogurt cups
• Pre-made protein boxes (Starbucks has decent ones)
• Deli turkey slices

Is it more expensive? Yes. Do I actually eat it consistently? Also yes. And that matters more than a perfect meal prep I never do.

absolutely zero judgment. Consistency beats perfection. If buying pre-made means you hit your protein goals, that's a win. Not everyone has the time, energy, or honestly the interest in cooking. The Costco rotisserie chicken hack is legendary for a reason.

100% valid. And honestly even for those of us who do prep — some weeks I just... don't. And those are the weeks I rely on exactly what you described. No shame in the convenience game.

Thanks everyone for sharing! Saving all these recipes. Let's do this again next week? Weekly meal prep thread? 👀

Great thread! I'll set this up as a recurring weekly post — "Meal Prep Sunday" — starting next week. Tag your recipes with calorie and protein counts when you can, it helps everyone plan. 👍
