Most people on a GLP-1 undereat, not overeat.

Tirzepatide and semaglutide can suppress appetite so hard that people quietly stop eating enough — and lose muscle instead of fat. This gives you a starting floor, not a diet. I personalize and adjust these numbers at your first visit.

Protein target
—
This is the number that actually protects your muscle. Split across 3–4 meals — protein first, especially on low-appetite days.
Calorie floor
—
Water & fiber
2.5–3 L water · 25–30 g fiber
This is the difference between manageable and miserable on a GLP-1 — most constipation comes from missing one of these two.
Why a floor, not a target: on tirzepatide or semaglutide, your appetite will tell you to eat less than this. The floor is there so you don't find out three months in that the weight you lost wasn't fat.

These are starting estimates from standard formulas, not a personalized medical plan — I review and adjust them against your labs and history at your first Sculpt visit. If you have a history of disordered eating, tell me directly so we build your plan around that.
