Sourced and dated 59 foods by volume 90 recipes to spec No dosing advice
GLP-1 Kitchen is a free food site for people on GLP-1 medications. It ranks 59 common foods by grams of protein per cup, because stomach room is the real limit. It is written by an independent researcher, not a medical professional, and it has no dosing advice.
Updated October 2026
Why this site existsThe medication handles appetite. Nothing handles the rest.
64.8%
of people without diabetes had stopped taking their GLP-1 within one
year. Cost, side effects, and access drive most of it.
JAMA Netw Open, n=125,474
40–70%
get stomach and gut side effects. Most are mild and most pass, but
almost nobody is told what to cook while they do.
Pooled trial reporting
25–40%
of the weight lost registers as lean mass on a scan. Resistance
training plus enough protein is the part you control.
STEP-1 and SURMOUNT-1 body composition
Every one of those is a food problem wearing a medical costume. That is the entire remit of this site.
All three get called a protein. All three take the same room in a stomach that has not got much left.
The chart everyone needs and nobody built
Protein density, ranked
Every protein chart on the internet ranks food by grams per serving. That is the right number when calories are your limit. It is the wrong one when room is. This chart ranks by protein per cup of stomach space instead, which is what actually decides what you should be eating.
Fifty-nine foods. Sourced. Dated.

Print it once and stop thinking about it
It is the sheet you tape inside a cupboard door in week one and still use in week nine. Paper, because week one is not the week you learn a new app.
What it is not
Not a sample of a paid thing.
Not a teaser chapter that stops at the useful part.
Not an account, a login, or a trial that bills you later.
Not medical advice, and it says so on the page itself.

- A 30-day plan you can start on any Monday
- Every clinical claim sourced, dated, and labeled by strength of evidence

Fair questions
What is GLP-1 Kitchen?
GLP-1 Kitchen is a free food site for people on GLP-1 medications. It ranks 59 common foods by grams of protein per cup, because stomach room is the real limit. It is written by an independent researcher, not a medical professional.
How does GLP-1 Kitchen rank foods?
By grams of protein per cup of volume, using typical values from standard food composition data such as USDA FoodData Central. Brand and fat level change the numbers, so check your label. The full chart is at /protein-density/.
Is GLP-1 Kitchen free?
The articles, the protein density chart and the Starter Kit are free. The site also sells a book and two paid guides, and those are labeled as products.
Is the Starter Kit really free?
Yes. Three printable tools, no card, no trial, no wall halfway through. You get one email when something useful publishes, and one click removes you for good.
I am on an injection. Does any of this apply?
Yes. The delivery method changes the schedule and part of the side-effect profile. It does not change what protein does in a stomach that empties slowly. The recipes, the targets, and the symptom fixes read the same either way. Where the pill genuinely differs, articles say so in the text.
Is this medical advice?
No, and it never pretends otherwise. There is no dosing advice anywhere on this site. Titration appears only as what the prescribing information describes, and your prescriber sets your schedule. This is a food and habits site written by Scott Wilder, an independent researcher, not a clinician.
Why rank food by the cup instead of by the serving?
Because a per-serving ranking assumes calories are your limit. On a GLP-1, room is your limit. Cottage cheese carries 28 g per cup and cooked quinoa carries 8 g, and they take identical space. Ranking by volume is the thing that changes the answer.
What happens to my email address?
It goes to the mailing list and nowhere else. It is never sold, rented, or handed to a pharmaceutical company, and this site is not affiliated with one. The privacy page says the same thing in more words.
How this site works
Every factual claim here traces to a clinical trial, an FDA label, or a published guideline, and says which. Claims that are contested get both sides. Claims that are thin get labeled thin. Community reports get called community reports.
Written by Scott Wilder. Independent researcher who reads the trial data and the prescribing information so you do not have to. Not a medical professional. These articles are not medically reviewed, and the site says so rather than implying otherwise. Your prescriber sets your medication schedule. This site sets your table.
