About Small Plate Club
We built this because we stared at Amazon for 40 minutes, too.
Small Plate Club started with a group text. One of us had just started Mounjaro, couldn't finish a protein shake without gagging, and was trying to figure out — at 10 p.m., on her phone — which of the 800 protein powders on Amazon wouldn't taste like chalk in a stomach the size of a shot glass.
We spent $240 on supplements that month. We had no idea if any of them were working.
That's the gap this site fills.
What Small Plate Club is
A curated shopping guide for people who eat less but still need to nourish well. GLP-1 users are our core audience — Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, Zepbound, Saxenda, Rybelsus, compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide. But everything here works for bariatric post-op, perimenopause appetite shifts, elderly relatives who've stopped eating much, and anyone living the small-plate life.
What we actually do
We test products in a real kitchen with real shrunken appetites. We read the labels. We read the studies. We read the Amazon reviews — all of them, sorted by "most recent" and filtered for verified purchase. We build comparison tables that show grams of protein per 100 calories, not per serving, because a 300-calorie shake isn't helpful when 300 calories is your whole lunch.
Our editorial posture
We don't take brand payments. We don't do sponsored rankings. We don't fabricate testimonials. We don't make medical claims — we're not your doctor, and we're not pretending to be. When a product is a dud, we say so. When "GLP-1-branded" is just a regular product with a sticker, we say that too.
Who this is for
Adults on GLP-1s or adjacent medications. People who've had bariatric surgery. Anyone whose appetite shrank faster than their grocery list adjusted.
Who this isn't for
Anyone under 18. Anyone in active eating-disorder recovery without a provider's guidance. Bodybuilders bulking. People looking for "natural GLP-1 alternatives" — that's a category full of scams, and we won't touch it.
Why "Club"
Because shopping guides are better with a group. The newsletter is the core of this site — one email a week, one curated shelf, one side-effect fix, one reader question. You reply, we read it. That's the club.
