Why it helps on GLP-1
Eggs are the gold-standard protein for muscle preservation — high in leucine, the amino acid that triggers muscle synthesis. Spinach adds folate and iron (commonly low on GLP-1s), while feta brings calcium without the heaviness of fatty cheeses.
Ingredients
- 013 large eggs
- 021 cup baby spinach
- 032 tbsp crumbled feta cheese
- 041 tsp olive oil
- 051 small clove garlic, minced (optional)
- 06Salt, pepper, pinch of nutmeg
Instructions
- 1
Whisk eggs with salt, pepper, and nutmeg until fully combined.
- 2
Heat olive oil in an 8-inch non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add garlic, 20 seconds.
- 3
Add spinach and wilt 30 seconds. Push to one side of the pan.
- 4
Pour eggs in. Tilt the pan to spread evenly. Cook 1–2 minutes until edges set.
- 5
Sprinkle feta over half. Fold the omelet over and slide onto a plate.
GLP-1 notes
- ·Eat slowly — 28g of protein hits fullness fast on GLP-1.
- ·Add a slice of whole grain toast if you can tolerate the carbs.
- ·Sub egg whites for 1 yolk if fat triggers nausea that day.
