How I Hit 200g Protein Daily (While on Mounjaro)
My daily target is around 2,750 calories and 200g+ protein. This is what a typical day looks like for me. Nothing fancy, just consistent. Breakfast 499 kcal | 36g protein - Whey protein shake (30g scoop) - 220ml whole milk - 40g porridge oats - Blueberries - Raspberries - Banana Why this works: Easy to get down, high protein, and sets the tone early. Alternatives: - Greek yoghurt + granola + fruit - Protein overnight oats - Eggs on toast + side of fruit - Skyr yoghurt bowl Lunch 594 kcal | 57g protein - High protein tortilla wrap - Chicken breast slices - Light cream cheese - Sweetcorn - Tomato - Spinach - High protein ready made soup (chicken & veg) Why this works: High protein without feeling heavy. Easy to prep or grab on the go. Alternatives: - Chicken salad bowl with rice or potatoes - Tuna wrap or sandwich - Lean beef mince with rice - Turkey + avocado wrap - Protein pasta with chicken Dinner 731 kcal | 57g protein - Chicken breast fillets - Stir fry veg - Curry sauce - Rice Why this works: Big protein hit in the evening without being complicated. Alternatives: - Lean steak + potatoes + veg - Salmon + rice + greens - Turkey mince chilli - Chicken fajita bowl - Prawn stir fry Snacks ~758 kcal | 94g protein - Babybel cheese - Fulfil protein bar - Protein mousse - High protein yoghurt - Whey protein shake Why this works: This is where most people fall short. Snacks are an easy way to top up protein without forcing big meals. Alternatives: - Boiled eggs - Cottage cheese + fruit - Beef jerky - Protein puddings - Extra shakes if needed Daily Totals - Calories: 2,582 kcal (slightly under target) - Protein: 245g The Simple Strategy - Build every meal around protein - Add carbs and fats after - Use snacks to fill the gaps - Don’t rely on one big meal to hit your target On Mounjaro, appetite drops. That’s exactly why this matters. If you don’t plan it, you’ll under-eat protein without realising.
