Protein shakes that actually taste good to me now

Fitness update at month 8: started doing resistance training at month 3 after losing significant muscle mass in the early months. Since adding lifting 3x/week, my rate of fat loss has actually increased while I've gained visible muscle definition. The combination is powerful.

Starting the weight-loss log here because I need accountability. Starting weight: 278 lbs. Goal: 195 lbs. Week 1 on 0.25mg semaglutide. No real side effects yet, just a slightly off stomach on injection day. Will update every Monday.

Nutrition plan that's working for me on tirzepatide 7.5mg: Morning: Greek yogurt (20g protein), berries, black coffee. I have no appetite until 11am so I don't force breakfast. Lunch: This is my biggest meal because my appetite is best midday. Usually a big salad with grilled chicken or a high-protein wrap. Aim for 35-40g protein. Dinner: Small. Soup, eggs, or cottage cheese. My appetite is nonexistent by 7pm and forcing food makes me nauseous. This is a feature, not a bug. Total: about 1,400-1,600 calories, 130g+ protein. I prioritize protein above all else to protect muscle mass while losing. This isn't a diet — it's just what my body wants now.

I keep a protein shake on my desk for days when nothing sounds good. It helps.

I was terrified of the needle too. Now it takes me about 30 seconds on Sunday mornings.
