Easter is a two-front day: a heavy brunch or dinner plus chocolate and candy everywhere. On a GLP-1, the candy is the sneaky part — small pieces, easy grazing, sugar without protein. The plan: protein anchor at the meal, and a handful of the chocolate you actually like, chosen once, not all day.
Judged with the same framework as the rest of the site — USDA data, protein and fiber first, nausea in mind.

Choose once: a small stash of the chocolate you genuinely love, eaten slowly with water. The problem is the all-day grazing basket, not the chocolate itself. Protein-first meals help keep the sugar urge smaller.
Ham or lamb with roasted vegetables — protein anchor, gentle on a slow stomach, and traditional. Deviled eggs are a decent protein side.
A small one is fine — they are bread with a bit of dried fruit. The trap is the second one, and the ones loaded with icing. Treat them as a small side, not a meal.
