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 broccoli, or any other specific food, as something to avoid.
- 02
In GLP AI, “1 cup steamed broccoli” scored 100/100 (A+, Excellent): 55 kcal, 3.7 g protein and 5.1 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.

THE QUICK ANSWERS
Broccoli on a GLP-1 — FAQs.
Can you eat broccoli 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 broccoli, or any other specific food, as something to avoid. How broccoli sits 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, “1 cup steamed broccoli” scored 100/100 (A+, Excellent).
What is the GLP-1 Meal Score for broccoli?+
It depends on the version. We logged 3: “1 cup steamed broccoli” scored 100 (A+); “Broccoli with cheese sauce” scored 70 (A); “Broccoli bowl with chickpeas and brown rice” scored 91 (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 is in broccoli?+
GLP AI estimated “1 cup steamed broccoli” at 55 kcal, 3.7 g protein, 5.1 g fiber, 11.2 g carbohydrate and 2.2 g sugar.
Does eating a smaller portion of broccoli 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 broccoli score higher or lower?+
Across what we logged, “1 cup steamed broccoli” scored highest at 100 and “Broccoli with cheese sauce” lowest at 70. The top version gained from solid protein density, fiber supports fullness, lower sugar, lower sodium. The lowest gained from some protein support, good fiber support, lower sugar and lost points for moderate sodium.
How do I check my own broccoli in GLP AI?+
