what is glp-1 meal delivery?
GLP-1 meal delivery is prepared-meal delivery designed for people taking GLP-1 receptor agonist medications (semaglutide — Ozempic, Wegovy; tirzepatide — Zepbound, Mounjaro). The meals are portion-controlled (250–350g vs the standard 400–500g), protein-dense (≥0.10g protein per gram of food), lower in fat (under 20g per meal), and built on slow-digesting carbs and lean proteins. The purpose is to deliver enough daily protein to preserve lean muscle during fast weight loss without overwhelming the smaller appetite the medication produces.
how is it different from regular meal delivery?
Regular meal delivery uses 400–500g portions at 0.06–0.08g protein per gram and 20–35g of fat — too big to finish on a slower stomach, and not protein-dense enough to hit a daily target in smaller bites. GLP-1 meal delivery shrinks the portion so it gets finished, raises the protein density so each smaller bite delivers more, and trims the fat so the meal moves through faster and triggers less nausea. The macro per meal is the whole point.
does tandoco deliver glp-1 meals in the twin cities?
Yes. tandoco operates a downtown Minneapolis kitchen with a GLP-1 portion option. Order by Thursday for $9.99 flat Sunday delivery within 15 miles of our downtown Minneapolis kitchen, covering Minneapolis, Saint Paul, Edina, Bloomington, St. Louis Park, Richfield, Eden Prairie and surrounding suburbs. No subscription lock-in and no required minimum, because appetite varies week to week on a GLP-1.
can i track my protein and weight with tandoco?
Yes. The tandoco atlas app logs the protein, fat and carbs of every meal you order automatically, and lets you track weight, body composition, and how you feel day to day. Because GLP-1 medications make it easy to under-eat protein, seeing your daily protein total against your target is the single most useful number for protecting muscle — atlas keeps that front and center alongside your weight trend.
how much protein do i need per day on a glp-1?
The commonly cited recommendation for preserving lean muscle during weight loss is 1.0–1.4g of protein per kg of body weight per day. A 160-lb (73kg) person targeting the midpoint needs roughly 88g of protein daily — about 22–25g per meal across three meals plus a snack. That's achievable in a 250–350g GLP-1 meal at 0.10g/g protein density and hard to hit in a smaller portion of standard meal delivery. Confirm your specific target with your prescriber or a registered dietitian.
will glp-1 meal delivery help me keep muscle?
It helps by making your daily protein target reachable when your appetite is suppressed — protein-dense, portion-right meals plus tracking are the food side of muscle preservation. Muscle retention also depends on resistance training and total daily protein, which a meal service alone can't control. tandoco pairs the food and tracking with optional tandocoach trainers and wellness coaches who build a strength routine around your medication. tandoco is not a medical service; clinical questions belong with your prescriber.
do i need a subscription?
No. tandoco has no required minimum and no subscription lock-in. You order the meals you want for the week by the Thursday cutoff and skip any week. This matters more on a GLP-1 than on a normal plan, because appetite swings week to week — some weeks you want five meals, other weeks three is plenty, and a service that forces a fixed box works against that.
