Eating vegetarian on Wegovy with enough protein
Vegetarian on Wegovy takes a bit more planning, since you have no chicken or fish as an easy protein source. With dairy, eggs, soy and pulses you still reach 90 grams or more a day in small portions. If you eat fully plant-based, discuss vitamin B12 and protein combinations with your dietitian. This is guidance, not medical advice.

Sample day of 94 grams of protein
Breakfast: Greek yoghurt with berries, 20 grams. Lunch: hummus bowl with 2 eggs, 18 grams. Snack: small bowl of quark, 12 grams. Dinner: tofu stir-fry with edamame, 22 grams, plus a glass of milk, 8 grams extra, and a handful of nuts at lunch. Together well over 90 grams without meat or fish.
- Soy is complete protein: tofu, tempeh, edamame and soy yoghurt.
- Combine pulses with wholegrains through the day for all amino acids.
- Eggs and quark are the fastest vegetarian protein sources in small portions.
Watch iron and B12
If you eat little, iron and B12 run low faster. Eat vitamin C with your pulses and wholegrains for better iron uptake, and discuss B12 with your doctor if you eat little or no dairy and eggs. Fatigue and hair loss have several causes: get blood tested instead of stacking supplements yourself.
