KEY TAKEAWAY
The short version.
- 01
The Zepbound, Mounjaro, Wegovy and Ozempic prescribing information says the weekly injection can be given with or without meals, and none of those labels lists black beans, or any other specific food, as something to avoid.
- 02
In GLP AI, “Half cup cooked black beans” scored 100/100 (A+, Excellent): 114 kcal, 7.7 g protein and 7.5 g fiber.
- 03
For that log, what helped: solid protein density, fiber supports fullness, lower sugar, lower sodium.
- 04
The Meal Score is calculated per 100 g, so portion size alone does not move it: in our test, half a cup and two cups of grapes both scored 62. A smaller portion changes the calories, protein and fiber you actually get.

WHAT THE APP RETURNED
Black beans, logged 3 ways.

THE QUICK ANSWERS
Black beans on a GLP-1 — FAQs.
Can you eat black beans on Zepbound, Mounjaro, Wegovy and Ozempic?+
The Zepbound, Mounjaro, Wegovy and Ozempic prescribing information says the weekly injection can be given with or without meals, and none of those labels lists black beans, or any other specific food, as something to avoid. How black beans sit with you personally can change with your dose and the days after a shot, so treat this as food information, not clearance from your clinician. In GLP AI, “Half cup cooked black beans” scored 100/100 (A+, Excellent).
What is the GLP-1 Meal Score for black beans?+
It depends on the version. We logged 3: “Half cup cooked black beans” scored 100 (A+); “Black bean and chicken bowl” scored 100 (A+); “1 cup refried beans” scored 87 (A+). The score runs 0–100 and weighs protein, fiber, sugar, sodium, saturated fat and how processed the food is.
How much protein and fiber are in black beans?+
GLP AI estimated “Half cup cooked black beans” at 114 kcal, 7.7 g protein, 7.5 g fiber, 20.4 g carbohydrate and 0.3 g sugar.
Does eating a smaller portion of black beans change the score?+
Not by itself. The GLP-1 Meal Score compares nutrients per 100 g, so the same food scores the same at half the amount; in our test, half a cup and two cups of grapes both scored 62. What changes is the total: calories, protein and fiber scale with the amount, which matters when appetite is low. Two logs of a similar food can still land a few points apart when the app reads the food differently, for example how processed it judges it to be.
What makes black beans score higher or lower?+
Across what we logged, “Half cup cooked black beans” scored highest at 100 and “1 cup refried beans” lowest at 87. The top version gained from solid protein density, fiber supports fullness, lower sugar, lower sodium. The lowest gained from solid protein density, fiber supports fullness, lower sugar and lost points for moderate sodium.
