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 lentils, or any other specific food, as something to avoid.

  2. 02

    In GLP AI, “1 cup cooked lentils” scored 100/100 (A+, Excellent): 230 kcal, 17.9 g protein and 15.6 g fiber.

  3. 03

    For that log, what helped: solid protein density, fiber supports fullness, lower sugar, lower sodium.

  4. 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

Lentils on a GLP-1 — FAQs.

Can you eat lentils 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 lentils, or any other specific food, as something to avoid. How lentils 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, “1 cup cooked lentils” scored 100/100 (A+, Excellent).

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

It depends on the version. We logged 3: “1 cup cooked lentils” scored 100 (A+); “Lentil soup, 1.5 cups” scored 97 (A+); “Lentil pasta, 1 cup cooked” scored 92 (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 lentils?+

GLP AI estimated “1 cup cooked lentils” at 230 kcal, 17.9 g protein, 15.6 g fiber, 39.9 g carbohydrate and 3.6 g sugar.

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

Across what we logged, “1 cup cooked lentils” scored highest at 100 and “Lentil pasta, 1 cup cooked” lowest at 92. 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.
