ParrotPalThe scale can't tell fat from muscle.
LeanShield shows if you're protecting yours.
A few quick questions, then your estimated score and the one change that would help most.
In the big GLP-1 trial, about 4 in every 10 kilos people lost weren't fat. Enough protein and strength work are what the research says protect muscle. (STEP 1 body scans: 5.3 kg of 13.6 kg lost was lean mass; Wilding et al., 2021.)

Worth knowing
Why this matters
When you lose weight, you can lose muscle along with the fat1, on a GLP-1 or on any diet. Walking is great for your heart, but on its own it does little for your muscle. Eating enough protein and doing strength work are what the research says protect it.
¹ STEP 1 trial body scans: of 13.6 kg lost, 5.3 kg was lean mass (Wilding et al., 2021).
² Fitbit data from 753 people starting a GLP-1, presented at ENDO 2026: average daily steps fell from about 5,050 to 4,490.

This is an estimate from your answers, not a medical assessment. If you're on a GLP-1 medicine or have a health condition, talk to your prescriber or GP before changing what you eat or how you train. LeanShield™ is ParrotPal's muscle protection score.
