KEY TAKEAWAY

The short version.

  1. 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 ham, or any other specific food, as something to avoid.

  2. 02

    In GLP AI, “3 oz sliced lean ham” scored 67/100 (B, Good): 89 kcal, 14.9 g protein and 0 g fiber.

  3. 03

    For that log, what helped: high protein for the calories, lower sugar; what cost points: higher sodium.

  4. 04

    The highest-scoring version we logged was “Ham and egg scramble” at 73/100 (A, Great), with 24.1 g protein and 0 g fiber.

  5. 05

    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

Ham on a GLP-1 — FAQs.

Can you eat ham 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 ham, or any other specific food, as something to avoid. How ham 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, “3 oz sliced lean ham” scored 67/100 (B, Good).

What is the GLP-1 Meal Score for ham?+

It depends on the version. We logged 3: “3 oz sliced lean ham” scored 67 (B); “Ham and egg scramble” scored 73 (A); “Honey-glazed ham, 3 slices” scored 54 (C). 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 ham?+

GLP AI estimated “3 oz sliced lean ham” at 89 kcal, 14.9 g protein, 0 g fiber, 1.3 g carbohydrate and 0.9 g sugar. “Ham and egg scramble” came to 264 kcal, 24.1 g protein and 0 g fiber.

Does eating a smaller portion of ham 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 ham score higher or lower?+

Across what we logged, “Ham and egg scramble” scored highest at 73 and “Honey-glazed ham, 3 slices” lowest at 54. The top version gained from high protein for the calories, lower sugar and lost points for moderate sodium, moderate saturated fat. The lowest gained from high protein for the calories and lost points for higher sodium, moderate saturated fat.
