Methodology

What this site is for

• Restaurant decision support for smaller appetite, protein-forward eating, and variable-tolerance days.
• Practical defaults, swaps, caution notes, and short order scripts people can reuse in real life.
• Informational guidance only. GLP Dining does not provide diagnosis, treatment, dosing, or medical advice.

Scoring logic

Protein density is calculated as (protein / calories) * 100.

• `proteinDensity >= 5` adds `protein-dense`
• `fat > 25g` adds `higher-fat`
• `sugar > 10g` adds `higher-sugar`
• Additional GLP tags include `gi-gentle`, `sauce-on-side`, `small-portion-win`, and `high-volume`.

Curation lanes

• Best picks: protein-forward choices with fewer tradeoffs.
• Works with swaps: strong base orders that improve with simple modifications.
• Proceed with caution: usable in a pinch but higher in sugar, fat, or sodium.

Data notes

• Most orders come directly from official nutrition rows or are calculated from official menu components.
• When a restaurant does not publish enough detail for a clean calculation, we treat those numbers as approximate internally instead of presenting a certainty badge.
• Symptom and medication pages are informational only and include extra disclaimers because tolerance varies by person.
• We review and update pages when the source data or ordering logic changes enough to affect the recommendation.
• GLP Dining Editorial Team reviews content against this methodology and the editorial policy before publishing.
