Big Protein in Small Bites 

Starting a GLP-1? Quality protein and key nutrients matter more than ever. Here's how seafood helps you get what your body needs.

When you’re on a GLP-1, protein needs to take center stage, and quality protein at that. Seafood is ready for the role: it’s loaded with the good stuff, comes together fast, and tastes great too.

Why Seafood Works With GLP-1s

Seafood is well suited to set you up for nutritional success. Take, for example, a single packet of tuna or salmon, which gives you an impressive 11–17 grams of protein (that’s up to 34% of your daily intake). Beyond just protein, seafood gets you important vitamins and minerals your body runs on: omega-3s, B vitamins and iron, healthy fats, and more.

Making It Work in Real Life

Your goal here is to pick meals and snacks that satisfy your nutritional needs and keep everything tasty and simple (our specialty!).

For a Savory Breakfast

We’re big fans of sardines on grilled sourdough toast, plus a poached or fried egg, avocado, or peppery arugula depending on what you’re in the mood for. High protein, high satisfaction, and very little assembly required.

For a Quick Lunch

Try a Lemon Garlic Tuna packet over a bed of nutty quinoa with mixed greens and any veggies you have on hand (bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, and shredded carrots all do the job nicely). You get your protein, healthy carbs, and fiber all in one bowl.

For Your Afternoon Snack

What isn’t improved with the addition of a little Everything Bagel seasoning? Layer our Everything Bagel Salmon packet atop whole grain crackers (or a rice cake if you’re watching your gluten), and finish with cucumber slices for crunch.

For an Easy Dinner

Sometimes the classics get it right. Mix our wild caught Alaskan salmon with teriyaki sauce, heat gently, and serve it alongside brown rice and steamed or lightly stir-fried vegetables like broccoli and cabbage. Finish with a drizzle of sesame oil and toasted sesame seeds.

Packet in Between Meals

Keep one or two of our portable seafood packets in your bag for last-minute snacking purposes. If there’s a flavor profile you like, chances are we’ve got it. Maple Smokehouse Salmon brings smoky-sweet richness. Chili Lime Tuna brings zingy, citrusy brightness. Frank’s RedHot® Tuna brings, well, the Frank’s RedHot®, and that’s always a win in our book. Stock a few of your favorites in your pantry so you’ve always got a protein-packed option within reach.

Where to Buy

If your appetite shrinks, every meal needs to count a little more. Here’s how seafood helps you to get the protein and nutrition your body needs.
