Core principles for a Wegovy-compatible diet include: Prioritise lean proteins : chicken breast, turkey, white fish, eggs, tofu, and legumes help preserve muscle mass during weight loss and promote satiety Emphasise vegetables and fruits : these provide essential nutrients, fibre, and volume with relatively few calories Choose complex carbohydrates : wholegrain bread, brown rice, quinoa, and oats provide sustained energy and fibre Include healthy fats in moderation : small portions of nuts, seeds, avocado, and oily fish (salmon, mackerel) support nutrient absorption Stay well-hydrated : adequate fluid intake helps manage constipation and supports overall wellbeing Meal timing and portion control become particularly important with Wegovy
