Injection-day meals - what's on your plate today?

Shot day for me is usually baked potato with a scoop of cottage cheese, boring but it never argues back. Down 31 lbs and I learned the hard way that my usual stir fry with too much garlic is a shot-night gamble I keep losing. The day-after is when I can actually enjoy a real meal again, so I save my appetite for that.

Only 9 lbs in so I'm still learning my body's rules, but I've landed on miso soup with soft tofu on shot nights - anything richer and I regret it around midnight. The garlic stir fry story made me wince since my one bad night was a garlicky pasta, so apparently that's a pattern. I'm noticing the day-after is where I actually have an appetite again too.

Shot night is always eggs or plain toast for me, learned after a bad roast chicken experience at 1.8 that I still think about. Down 39 lbs and the day-after is definitely when my appetite shows back up, so I plan my bigger meals around that window. Also, garlic really does seem to be the common enemy in this thread.

Funny how garlic keeps getting named and shamed here - I had a garlic-heavy taco night go wrong early on and haven't risked it since. Shot nights are broth with shredded chicken and crackers for me, and like everyone else I save the real cooking for the day after when my appetite actually shows up.

Shot night for me is always something brothy too - down 35 lbs and I learned fast that anything fried or garlicky on injection day is asking for trouble. I save my appetite for the day after when it actually shows up, sounds like that's the move for most of us here.

Only 5 lbs in so I'm still figuring out my shot-day rhythm, but I've noticed even mild stuff like a turkey sandwich sits heavier that evening, so I've drifted toward soup without really planning it. Reading this thread makes me think the brothy-then-big-meal-next-day pattern is where I'll probably land too.

Same boat as reply 3 - only about 7 lbs down on Zepbound so far, but even a plain turkey sandwich felt like a brick on my shot evening last week. I've landed on toast and a boiled egg the night of, then a proper dinner the next day when my appetite wakes back up. Lexington folks will get it when I say the day-after meal is usually my excuse to actually cook something with some flavor again.
