WHAT I EAT IN A DAY ON MOUNJARO | calories, week 10 update and answering your questions
Our summary
The creator, who runs the channel Babbling by the Brook, films a full day of eating at 10 weeks on Mounjaro. She says she is on her third pen, still on the 2.5 mg dose, and has lost one stone so far since starting just under 10 weeks ago. She says she had struggled with her weight for a couple of years before this. She adds that she has felt much hungrier in week 10 and may move up a dose after Christmas if her losses stall.

The three cheapest partner programs for tirzepatide, all in per month, checked weekly. Brand Mounjaro and compounded versions are different products; each row says which it is.
What else the video covers
She describes her day as a coffee with 150 ml of semi skimmed milk and a banana with a small Aldi item at around 11:00, then a large salad with a 200 g air fried chicken breast, ranch dressing and Parmesan at 2:00. In the evening she eats a Hello Fresh meal that she says contains 568 calories per serving. She says she finished it all, felt satisfied and did not want anything else. She notes she does not usually count calories and that on-screen totals are rough, since every day differs.
She also answers a viewer question about exercise. She says she has not started exercising on purpose, but she is moving far more since going on adoption leave four months ago, after years of working a desk job from home. She says she has been told she should do strength training while losing weight, and that she should anyway because of osteoporosis risk after menopause. She considers buying free weights. She also says she has no nausea and that a side effect worry from an earlier video was probably a stomach bug.

Our guides closest to what this video covers, with prices checked weekly.
- Mounjaro for weight loss, and why Zepbound exists
Mounjaro is tirzepatide approved for type 2 diabetes. Zepbound is the same molecule from the same maker, approved for weight management, and it goes to the same 15 mg. So unlike Ozempic and Wegovy, there is no dose ceiling pushing you from one to the other: the reason people move is coverage and cash price, not strength. Using Mounjaro for weight is off-label and a prescriber's decision. In the one head-to-head trial, tirzepatide beat semaglutide, 20.2% mean body-weight loss at 72 weeks against 13.7%.
- Mounjaro side effects: the label's numbers by dose, the low blood sugar risk, and how tirzepatide compares at weight-loss doses
On Mounjaro's own label, the common side effects are stomach ones and they rise with the dose: nausea in 12, 15 and 18 percent of people at 5, 10 and 15 mg against 4 percent on placebo, diarrhea 12 to 17 against 9, and any gastrointestinal reaction in 37 to 44 percent against 20. Most of it happens while the dose is being raised and fades. Low blood sugar is rare on Mounjaro alone and is mainly a risk when it is added to insulin or a sulfonylurea. Below: the full table, the rare warnings, and why Zepbound's numbers for the same molecule look higher.
- Mounjaro dosage chart: the label's schedule, every pen and vial, and what each dose costs
Mounjaro starts at 2.5 mg injected once a week. If more blood sugar control is needed, the dose goes up in 2.5 mg steps after at least four weeks on the current dose, to a maximum of 15 mg a week for adults and 10 mg for children 10 and older. Lilly sells every strength self-pay starting at $499 a month, so on the brand the price does not climb with the dose.
