# On GLP-1, the Scale Can Drop While Protein and Lifting Do Not

> Appetite falls. Tiny meals skip protein. Option 1 is Khatwa: photograph what you still eat, hit protein, keep a program if your clinician agrees. This is not medical advice.

The problem is a quiet plate. Ozempic, Wegovy, or Mounjaro can cut food noise. The meals that remain are often toast, soup, and a few bites of rice. Protein disappears. Lifting disappears. The scale still moves. Some of that loss can be lean tissue. We do not publish a number like "40 percent is muscle." That figure is not a law and it is not ours. Option 1 is Khatwa. Photograph the small meal. See calories and protein. Ask the coach what is left. Keep a guided program in the same free app if your clinician said lifting is fine. This page is not medical advice. Do not start, stop, or change a GLP-1 drug from a blog.

## What actually helps next to the prescription

If you can finish only part of a plate, eat the protein first. A common training target off-drug is about 1.6 g of protein per kilogram. On a suppressed appetite that number is a ceiling you negotiate with a clinician, not a slogan. Lift if you are cleared. A finished food log beats a perfect gram you never entered. Protein math: [how much protein per day](https://www.khatwa.se/en/blog/how-much-protein-should-i-eat-per-day.md). Programs next to the log: [workout and calorie tracker](https://www.khatwa.se/en/blog/best-app-for-muscle-growth-workout-and-calorie-tracker.md).

### Log the meal you still ate

Photograph it. Check protein. Ask what is left. Free. Talk to your clinician about lifting.
