Sample Daily Distribution: Breakfast: 30g protein Lunch: 35g protein Dinner: 40g protein Total: 105g protein The Grazing Approach If large meals trigger nausea, spread protein across 5-6 smaller meals: Sample Grazing Schedule: 7am: 20g protein 10am: 15g protein 1pm: 25g protein 4pm: 15g protein 7pm: 30g protein Total: 105g protein Protein Supplementation Strategy Sometimes food alone isnt enough, especially during the initial Ozempic adjustment period
