Nutracheck is here as your GLP-1 support tool! Stay on top of your food choices and solidify long-lasting behaviour change with our award-winning calorie and nutrient-tracking service.
How GLP-1s work
GLP-1 receptor agonists such as Mounjaro and Wegovy are a class of weight loss medications that work by reducing appetite and increasing the time it takes for food to leave the stomach. If individuals choose to use these medications to support their weight loss efforts, special attention should be given to dietary choices, behavioural shifts and lifestyle changes.
"It was perfect for me, such a great app to track the calorie intake, the weight, measurements and the exercise. I can't recommend it enough to my friends when I talk about my weight loss journey."
How Nutracheck can maximise your results
While GLP-1’s can help with eating less food, common side effects such as gastrointestinal issues, weight loss stalls, and weight regain can occur if special focus isn’t given to diet and lifestyle as well. This is where Nutracheck can help! Keeping track of what and how much you’re eating alongside your medication helps you learn about what a healthy diet looks like, as well as making sure you're getting a good balance of everything you need.To help you get the most out of your weight loss journey, here are 6 ways Nutracheck can help:
Manage appetite
It’s not uncommon for those taking GLP-1’s to risk eating too little, as appetite can be reduced significantly. Eating enough is essential to avoid nutrient deficiencies and weight loss stalls. Eating too little for an extended period of time can lead to metabolic adaptation, which causes weight loss to become more challenging. The personalised calorie allowance set within Nutracheck helps with achieving weight loss at a healthy rate, leading to long-term results.
Prioritise protein
Protein is a key nutrient to focus on when losing weight taking GLP-1’s, since faster weight loss can result in muscle mass loss. Protein helps maintain muscle mass, alongside adequate exercise, so a sufficient intake should be prioritised. We have a specially designed GLP-1 Nutrient Goal to help you balance your nutrients effectively and to promote sufficient protein intake.
Monitor nutrient balance
The food diary tracks how many calories, plus how much protein, fibre, carbs, sugar, fat, saturated fat and salt you have each day. It will guide you towards recommended intakes for key nutrients, helping to create a healthy balance within your diet, which is key to successful, long term weight loss.
Manage side effects
Common gastrointestinal side effects from taking GLP-1’s can be worsened by dehydration and the consumption of certain foods. Nutracheck allows you to track your fluid intake to ensure you’re reaching the recommended daily intake, helping to manage side effect risk. Through logging your foods, you will also be able to more easily identify those that may lead to issues such as nausea.
Track exercise
Where possible, it’s strongly recommended to increase activity levels alongside dietary changes to help build and maintain lean muscle mass and protect bone health. Nutracheck sets you a daily activity target, plus you can keep an accurate log of all the exercises you do in your diary.
Supports lasting success
Without adequate lifestyle changes and a focus on diet and exercise while taking GLP-1’s, many people are at risk of regaining weight after they stop the medication. Continuing your journey with Nutracheck can help you adjust to your changing appetite gradually to ensure your results last. In fact, 96% of those using Nutracheck alongside GLP-1’s intend to continue using Nutracheck once they stop the medication.

"I found using the app was a key part of my weight loss process.

It also helped me to see patterns developing in what food was working and any that were not."
