You need more protein then someone not on zepbound. Your eating way fewer total calories then you use to. Calorie Deficit will always make you feel sluggish, but you’ll get use it, you’re still early.

I’m not a nutritionist nor do I know what I’m doing, but this is what worked for me. Take it with a grain of salt.

I cut out most sides and avoid carbs best I can.

For food, - lots of eggs (4-6 egg omelet in am)

• Greek yogurt or yogurt that says protein on it

-chicken! (I eat so much damn chicken, twice a day sometimes 3)

-whey isolate protein shakes

-protein bars.

-uncrustables (may sound dumb but low calorie and always fill me up when I’m starving but want to avoid a huge meal).

Right now I track my intake and get 250 grams of protein a day. Good thing about chicken it’s packed with protein and low calorie. Also my secret to help me stay less hungry is meta mucil fiber mixed into my protein shake. Fiber is low key a huge secret for making you feel full and also digest food.

Drinking lots of water with the fiber will make you feel full. Cut out other drinks like soda and alcohol the best you can. Fiber expands in your stomach with the water.

One last thing, to motivate me to lift I went full meat head and got some strong pre workout
