Pro Tips: How to Order GLP-1 at McDonald’s

✓
Lead with protein—grilled chicken, eggs, fish, or a bean-and-cheese build—so a smaller plate still protects muscle
✓
Skip anything deep-fried or heavy and greasy; high-fat food sits longer in a slowed stomach and is a common nausea trigger
✓
Order a smaller size or single portion and stop when you feel comfortably full
