Search data shows memorial day questions climb every year around the same weeks, which is why this page exists. It follows the site's standard method: USDA values per 100g, the three-question scoring screen, and honest labels — no food is banned here, but every food is scored.
Portion size beats food choice on a GLP-1, and holiday tables are where that rule gets tested hardest. Restaurant and holiday portions run 2-3x what a slowed stomach handles. The serving references on this site are per-100g USDA values — the honest anchor for 'how much' questions.
The half-plate habit is the practical fix: box half or plate half before starting, because fullness arrives late and the second half is where the discomfort starts. This is the most consistent pattern in the nausea reports — overeating, not the food itself.
The mental shift that helps most: on Ozempic, a small portion is not a sacrifice, it is the correct dose of food. The medication has already changed the math; eating the old portion is eating for a stomach that no longer exists.
Underneath the food names, the mechanism is constant: fat slows a stomach that is already slow, fiber plus water keeps things moving, and protein protects the muscle a calorie deficit would otherwise take. Exactly those three are what we score on, so the advice transfers wherever the table is.
The rules are published and the same everywhere, so the memorial day verdict is comparable to any other food on the site. That comparability is the point of having a screen at all. The thresholds do not drift, and neither do the verdicts built on them.
The table uses the site's one scoring method — protein, fiber and fat against published thresholds — and each food links to the complete USDA breakdown underneath it.
| Food | Protein | Fiber | Fat | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tomatoes, raw | 0.8g | 2.1g | n/ag | GLP-1 friendly |
| Broccoli | 2.6g | 2.4g | n/ag | GLP-1 friendly |
| Kale, raw | 2.9g | 4.1g | n/ag | GLP-1 friendly |
| Egg, dried | 79.9g | 0.0g | n/ag | GLP-1 friendly |
| Hummus | 7.3g | 5.4g | n/ag | Limit |
| Frankfurter | 11.7g | 0.0g | n/ag | Limit |
| Nuts | 20.4g | 11.0g | n/ag | Limit |
| Pork Sausage | 13.3g | 0.0g | n/ag | Limit |
The data and the guidelines agree on the unit: the week. Twenty-one plates average into a pattern, and the pattern is what moves weight, muscle and tolerance. Memorial day contributes to that average like any other meal — scored the same, portioned the same, and forgiven the same when it is imperfect. Day-to-day appetite swings are normal on this class, so the pattern across days is what deserves attention
The structure is simple and it carries every meal on this site: protein first, vegetables to fill, a small quarter for the indulgence, sauce separate, water between bites, and a stop at early fullness. It is the same shape at home, in a restaurant and at a holiday table, because it comes from the same scoring every item in our scoring uses. The skeleton of the meal is what repeats, and the rankings behind it update with the database
Smell sensitivity is a real GLP-1 side effect; cool or room-temperature food helps, and persistent aversion is worth naming with your clinician. That boundary is the design, not a limitation of the page.
It is not about skipping memorial day — it is about sizing it. The foods that cause trouble on a GLP-1 are the ones eaten in the old portion, not the ones eaten in a small one. Protein and vegetables first, a small taste of the rest, and the meal works like every other meal on this site.
At any spread, the data points to the same safe categories: simply cooked protein and vegetables. Protein scores green at 20g+ per 100g for muscle, vegetables score on fiber for regularity, and the fried and creamy dishes sit at the caution end, flagged by the fat threshold. The links above carry the full numbers for each food.
Nothing here is a ban list, and the evidence is on the linked pages: same food, different portion, different verdict. The labels guide the serving, not the grocery list. One celebration meal is part of a balanced week, and anything that keeps troubling you despite the sizing is exactly the detail your clinician should hear.
What counts is how you feel an hour later, not how the first bite tastes. Early fullness is the expected signal on a GLP-1; nausea or uncomfortable bloat is the adjustment signal. One rough meal is noise; a repeated pattern is worth acting on, and anything persistent belongs with your healthcare provider.
The data team assembled this post from USDA FoodData Central and the guideline frameworks referenced in it. It is an information resource, not a prescription — bring persistent questions about your medication to your healthcare provider.
