Medical disclaimer

Last updated September 25, 2026

Not medical advice. If you have kidney disease, diabetes, or take prescription medication, talk to your doctor or a registered dietitian before changing your protein intake.

Everything on ProteinPlates, including our calculators, restaurant guides, and articles, is for general education only. It is not medical, nutrition, or diet advice for you as a person, and it does not replace advice from your doctor, registered dietitian, or other qualified health professional.

Calculators give estimates

Our calculators use published equations and research-based ranges. Your real needs can be different because of your health, medicines, activity, and other factors.

GLP-1 medicines

Our content about GLP-1 medicines (such as Ozempic, Wegovy, Zepbound, and Mounjaro) covers food choices only. We do not give advice about doses, injections, or side effects. Ask your prescriber or care team about your medicine.

When to talk to a professional first

  • You have kidney disease, liver disease, diabetes, or another long-term condition.
  • You take prescription medicine.
  • You are pregnant or breastfeeding.
  • You have, or have had, an eating disorder.
  • You are under 18.

Restaurant data

Restaurant nutrition comes from each chain’s published information and may change without notice. Portion sizes and recipes vary by location. Check with the restaurant if you need exact numbers, for example because of an allergy.

If you think you have a medical emergency, call your local emergency number right away.
