The shell is the hardest part. On GLP-1, that is not an exaggeration.

🥚 Eggs are a high-quality complete protein source containing all essential amino acids. A large egg delivers roughly 6 grams of protein — three 🥚 eggs provide around 18 grams and can contribute meaningfully toward per-meal protein targets without requiring a large food volume when appetite is already reduced.

🥚 Eggs provide meaningful amounts of leucine alongside complete protein — one egg delivers roughly 500mg of leucine, contributing toward the per-meal threshold associated with stronger muscle protein synthesis responses. Hard-boiled 🥚 eggs are one of the easier protein options to keep ready on GLP-1 — make six at once, keep them in the fridge, ready for low-appetite moments.

Choline supports lipid metabolism and acetylcholine production and is found in meaningful amounts in egg yolks. Lower overall food intake can make adequate choline intake harder to maintain on GLP-1. 🥚 Eggs provide protein in a moderate-fat format that many people tolerate reasonably well during reduced appetite periods.

Soft-scramble on low heat and pull off early — creamy texture, easy to portion into small meals, quick to prepare.
