1) Prioritise protein First

2) Keep portions small but regular

3) Choose easy - to - tolerate foods

4) Monitor symptoms

Think: am I eating enough?

• Protein intake is inadequate

• Are eating patterns inconsistent?

When appetite is reduced- particularly with GLP-1 medications or after bariatric surgery- it may be difficult to judge. There isn’t a single symptom but things to look out for.

• Persistent fatigue or low energy

• Feeling weak, light-headed or dizzy

• Difficulty concentrating

• Hair thinning or increased hair loss

• Feeling cold frequently

• Poor recovery or reduced strength

• Eating very little or skipping meals regularly

Tiredness or nausea is common when appetite is reduced. These symptoms are not just side effects but a sign your nutrition and eating pattern may need adjusting. You can feel fatigued, dizzy or weak and “flat”

Common causes are:

1) Not eating enough

2) Low protein intake

3) Long gaps between eating

4) Eating patterns that don’t suit your current tolerance

5) Hydration and fluid intake

6) Nutritional deficiencies
