Hit your protein goal on a GLP-1, even with a small appetite
On a GLP-1 your appetite drops and so does your total food, which makes hitting enough protein the real daily challenge. Mello is built to keep protein front and center when every bite has to count.
Why protein matters more on a GLP-1
When you lose weight quickly, some of what comes off can be muscle rather than fat, and a higher protein intake helps protect lean mass. On a GLP-1 the problem is that your appetite is small, so it is easy to fall short without noticing. Mello keeps your protein goal visible all day so it does not get lost behind a low calorie count that looks fine on its own.
Protein per calorie scoring
Mello scores each meal on protein per calorie, not just grams. That tells you whether a plate is dense in protein or mostly filler, which is exactly what you need when you can only eat a little. A small portion of something protein-rich can move you toward your goal far better than a larger plate of carbs, and the score makes that obvious at a glance.
See your goal fill up through the day
Because appetite on a GLP-1 is unpredictable, you might eat most of your food at one meal and almost nothing at another. Mello shows how much protein you have logged against your goal in real time, so you know whether to make your next small meal count or whether you are already on track. No mental math, just a clear running total.
Scan instead of weighing and searching
Hitting a protein goal is only realistic if logging is easy. Mello lets you point your camera at a meal and get a protein and calorie estimate in seconds, then adjust the portion if you need to. When eating is already an effort, a tracker that does not add friction is the one that keeps your protein on track.
Questions and answers
How much protein should I eat on a GLP-1?
There is no single number that fits everyone, and Mello does not prescribe one. Your protein needs depend on your body, your goals and your health, so set your target with your doctor or dietitian. Mello then helps you track toward whatever goal you choose.
Does Mello give nutrition advice?
No. Mello scores and tracks the food you log so you can see your protein clearly, but it does not give medical or dietary advice. It is a tracking tool, not a medical device.
How much does Mello cost?
Mello is free to download with a 3-day free trial, then 19.99 USD per month or 99.99 USD per year, billed by Apple or Google. The yearly plan is the cheaper option long term.
