GLP-1 Notes

Avocado replaces mayo here — same creamy texture, healthier fat profile, and extra potassium. Cucumber provides hydration and crunch with almost no calories or carbs. Albacore tuna has slightly higher protein than chunk light tuna. This entire meal can be assembled in under 10 minutes with no cooking required.
