Medical Xpress / San Raffaele Study: AI Dietary Tracking Reveals GLP-1 Users Get Only 0.6 g/kg/day Protein — 88% Below Recommendations
A study published in Medical Xpress analyzed 5,741 days of AI-powered dietary-tracking data from 332 adults with overweight or obesity. GLP-1 users consumed significantly less energy (1,102 vs 1,281 kcal/day) and protein (53.8 vs 62.0 g/day) than non-users. Weight-adjusted daily protein intake was 0.6 g/kg/day among GLP-1 users, with 88% falling below the Italian national 0.9 g/kg/day recommendation. IRCCS San Raffaele researchers warn of nutritional deficiencies and muscle-health risks during GLP-1 therapy.
