Lower-fat picks can be easier to tolerate when GLP-1 side effects flare. Choose lean proteins, lighter prep methods, and simple seasonings. This page starts with the strongest low fat fit at Portillo's, keeps a lighter backup visible for lower-appetite moments, then closes with the caution lane so the safer default stays obvious.
Nutrition values are best-effort estimates and can vary by location.
