GLP-1 & Tirzepatide Muscle Preservation Macros (230 lb Male)
Comprehensive clinical nutrition blueprint for a 104.3 kg (230 lb) male on dual GIP/GLP-1 agonists: 165g protein floor and 3.8L fluids.
A 230 lb male (30% body fat, 161.0 lb LBM) using tirzepatide must consume at least 165g of protein daily (2.26g/kg LBM) spaced into four 41g meals. Ingest 2173 kcal, 40g soluble fiber, and 3.8 liters of fluids daily to prevent severe skeletal muscle loss during rapid weight reduction.

Clinical Nutrient Standards to Hit Your Calculated Targets
Micro-Filtered Grass-Fed Whey Isolate Standard
28g Protein • 3.3g L-Leucine • <0.2g Lactose • 110 kcal
Delivers 30% of your 185g daily protein target in two low-volume servings while crossing the 3.0g leucine mTORC1 trigger.
Free-Form Essential Amino Acids (EAA) + Soluble Prebiotic Fiber
3.5g L-Leucine • 8g Partially Hydrolyzed Guar Gum • Zero Gastric Heaviness
Engineered for patients experiencing early satiety on Semaglutide or Tirzepatide who need maximal myofibrillar preservation without meal volume.
Micronized Creatine Monohydrate (5g) + Quantitative Electrolytes
5g Pure Monohydrate • 1,000mg Sodium • 200mg Potassium • 60mg Magnesium
Supports intracellular water retention, ATP resynthesis during resistance training, and electrolyte balance during fasting or sauna protocols.

Profile-Specific Questions & Answers
Why is Tirzepatide weight loss often faster than Semaglutide?
Tirzepatide activates both GIP and GLP-1 receptors, producing greater appetite suppression and caloric reduction, which makes hitting your protein floor even more essential.
How do I reach 165g protein with low appetite?
Incorporate egg whites, Greek yogurt, canned tuna, chicken breast, and two 30g whey isolate shakes throughout the day.
