*  Monday made the case for fish as the protein anchor for GLP-1 users. Here’s what it looks like when you put that into practice. Open Cronometer and set a custom protein target. For muscle preservation during weight loss, most guidance lands between 1.2 and 1.6 grams per kilogram of body weight. Enter your number. Now you have a daily threshold to work against. Log a serving of salmon – say, four ounces. Cronometer returns roughly 25 grams of protein. A can of sardines gets you another 20. You can see the bar move in real time. That’s the part that changes behavior. Not the knowledge that protein matters – most people already know that. It’s watching the number sit at 40 percent of target by mid-afternoon and knowing you have work to do. The plate becomes a problem to solve. A solvable one.
