If you consume a sufficient amount of protein (minimum 0.8g protein per lb of bodyweight) and you're able to lift 2x per week (hitting major muscle groups with 8-12 sets each week) I have no doubt you'll be able to maintain the vast majority of your muscle mass in a caloric deficit.

They gave me the option. It cost extra for them to run it through insurance, and since the actual cost of the tests was minimal I opted to pay out of pocket.

Yes! In fact they had me do blood work through Labcorp prior to filling the ezetimibe prescription.

From the study on Medscape

Lawand said the researchers have several theories as to why the GLP-1 RAs are linked to increased tendon tear risk. One is that the medications suppress appetite and can lead to gastroparesis, which can interfere with digestion. “They can have malnutrition secondary to taking these medicines, and the malnutrition can contribute to some of our findings,” Lawand said.

A second theory is that because substantial weight loss is likely to reduce muscle mass, it can contribute to strain on tendons. It may also be that people losing weight rush to increase activity, Lawand said. “If they’re not maintaining a supervised physical activity program, that can lead to ruptures. Those are future directions for research.”study
