Eating less shouldn’t mean getting less of what your body needs. Whether you’re losing weight through diet and exercise or using a GLP-1 medication, getting enough protein, fibre and essential nutrients becomes even more important when your appetite and overall food intake decrease.
We’ve put together our best high-protein snacks and supplements for weight loss with a simple goal: make it easier to get quality nutrition from real food ingredients, without filling your day with ultra-processed junk.
What does “GLP-1 friendly” mean?
We use GLP-1 friendly to describe foods and supplements that can help support good nutrition while you’re eating less — particularly products rich in protein, fibre and useful nutrients. It doesn’t mean the product contains GLP-1 medication or replaces medical advice or treatment.
What should you eat when you’re trying to lose weight?
There isn’t a magic food that causes weight loss. But when you’re consuming fewer calories, what you choose to eat matters. Prioritising nutrient-dense foods can make it easier to meet your nutritional needs without needing to eat large amounts of food.
1. Prioritise protein
Weight loss can include some loss of lean mass as well as body fat. Eating adequate protein, particularly alongside resistance training, can help support the maintenance of muscle mass while losing weight.
2. Don’t forget fibre
Fibre supports digestive health and can help with satiety. This can be particularly useful when your diet becomes smaller or your normal eating habits change.
3. Make every bite count
When you’re eating less food overall, prioritise foods that provide protein, vitamins, minerals and other useful nutrients rather than using up your appetite on low-nutrient ultra-processed foods.
Why protein matters during weight loss and GLP-1 use
GLP-1 medications such as semaglutide and tirzepatide can significantly reduce appetite and overall food intake. As with other forms of significant weight loss, some of the weight lost can come from lean mass as well as body fat.
That’s why protein intake and resistance exercise are important considerations during weight loss. Getting enough high-quality protein can help support the maintenance of muscle mass while you’re eating fewer calories.
If a large meal suddenly feels like too much, convenient sources of protein can make your daily intake easier to manage. That’s where whey protein, high-protein snacks, savoury protein options and nutrient-dense meal shakes can be especially useful.
Our best foods and supplements for weight loss and GLP-1 nutrition
The best option depends on what you need at that moment — a complete protein, a convenient meal, something savoury, or simply an easy way to add more protein to your day.
Grass-fed Whey Protein
Best for: maintaining protein intake and supporting muscle.
Whey is a complete protein containing all nine essential amino acids, making it a strong choice when protein intake is a priority during weight loss. Add it to water, milk, yoghurt or smoothies when a full meal feels like too much.
Meal Shake
Best for: when you need a convenient, nutrient-dense meal.
Chief Meal Shake combines high-quality protein with prebiotic fibre, fats and naturally occurring vitamins and minerals from real-food ingredients. It’s an easy option for smaller appetites when you want more complete nutrition than a standard protein shake.
Organic Beef Sticks, Beef Bars & Biltong
Best for: high-protein savoury snacking.
Not everyone wants another sweet protein bar or shake. Chief’s organic grass-fed beef snacks provide a convenient real-food protein option for work, travel, between meals or whenever you need something savoury.
Collagen Protein Bars
Best for: a convenient high-protein snack.
A portable protein snack made without the sugar alcohols commonly found in many conventional protein bars. Keep one in your bag, desk or car for the moments when the alternative is usually ultra-processed junk.
Grass-fed Collagen Protein
Best for: adding extra protein to your day.
Hydrolysed collagen provides an easy-to-use source of protein and collagen peptides. Stir it into coffee, yoghurt, smoothies or food when you want to increase your daily protein intake. Because collagen isn’t a complete protein, it’s best used alongside complete protein sources such as whey, dairy, eggs, meat or fish.
Weight Loss & High-Protein Guides

High-protein snacks for weight loss: sweet and savoury options
One advantage of having different types of protein on hand is that you don’t have to rely on sweet shakes and bars all day. A practical high-protein diet can include a mix of whey protein, yoghurt, eggs, meat, fish, dairy, protein bars and savoury snacks.
Chief’s range includes both sweet and savoury high-protein snacks, making it easier to choose something that suits your appetite. A collagen protein bar can work when you want something sweet, while organic beef sticks, beef bars or biltong offer a real-food savoury alternative.
Real food nutrition for a smaller appetite
Chief takes a different approach to weight management nutrition. We’re not interested in crash diets, synthetic diet foods or products designed to make you survive on as little food as possible.
We focus on real food, quality protein and nutrient density. Our range includes Australian grass-fed whey, grass-fed collagen, organic beef snacks, high-protein bars and a meal shake made with ingredients including whey, collagen, prebiotic fibre, cacao, greens and nutrient-dense whole foods.
Eat less junk. Prioritise protein. Make every bite count.
Frequently asked questions
What are the best high-protein snacks for weight loss?
Look for snacks that provide useful nutrition rather than simply being low in calories. High-protein foods can be particularly useful because protein supports muscle maintenance and can help with satiety. Options include yoghurt, eggs, cottage cheese, protein bars, whey protein shakes, biltong and other quality meat snacks.
What foods are GLP-1 friendly?
There’s no official definition of a “GLP-1 friendly” food. In practical terms, people using GLP-1 medications may benefit from prioritising nutrient-dense foods that provide enough protein, fibre, fluids, vitamins and minerals within a smaller amount of food. Individual tolerance can vary, particularly if you experience gastrointestinal side effects.
What is the best protein for people taking GLP-1 medication?
Complete proteins that provide all nine essential amino acids are particularly useful when maintaining muscle is a priority. Whey protein is a convenient complete protein and can be easier to consume when appetite is reduced. Whole-food proteins such as meat, fish, eggs and dairy are also excellent choices.
Should I eat more protein while taking a GLP-1 medication?
Adequate protein is an important consideration during significant weight loss. Protein intake combined with resistance or strength training can help support the maintenance of lean mass. Your ideal intake depends on factors including body size, age, activity level and health, so seek personalised advice from your doctor or dietitian where appropriate.
Is whey protein good for weight loss?
Whey protein doesn’t cause weight loss by itself, but it can be a convenient way to increase protein intake. Whey is a complete protein containing all nine essential amino acids, making it particularly useful when supporting muscle while following a reduced-energy diet.
Is collagen protein good for weight loss?
Collagen can be a convenient way to add extra protein to your diet, particularly in drinks, yoghurt or smoothies. However, collagen is not a complete protein, so it’s best used alongside complete protein sources such as whey, eggs, dairy, meat or fish rather than as your only source of protein.
Can I drink protein shakes while taking Ozempic, Wegovy or Mounjaro?
Protein shakes are commonly used as a convenient way to help meet protein needs when appetite is reduced. However, GLP-1 medications can affect digestion and individual tolerance varies. If you’re taking prescription medication or have a medical condition, discuss your individual nutrition needs with your doctor or accredited practising dietitian.
Is a meal replacement shake useful when taking GLP-1 medication?
A nutritionally balanced meal shake can be useful when your appetite is too low for a normal-sized meal, provided it delivers more than protein alone. Look for protein alongside fibre, fats, vitamins and minerals, and use meal replacements as part of a varied diet rather than as your entire diet.
How do I avoid losing muscle while losing weight?
Two of the most important strategies are getting adequate dietary protein and regularly performing resistance or strength exercise. Significant weight loss can include loss of lean mass, so preserving muscle should be considered alongside changes in body weight.
