KINGSPORT, Tenn., Aug. 10, 2026 — As GLP-1 medications continue reshaping how Americans eat, SmashMeals is positioning its weekly gluten-free menu as a practical answer for customers who want smaller portions, clear macros, and protein-forward prepared food without rigid subscriptions.
Recent PwC consumer research found that 21% of U.S. households now include a current GLP-1 user and that 80% of current users are piecing together their own support routines. The finding points to a growing gap between prescription use and everyday meal planning.
“People are not just asking what these medications do. They are asking what they should eat tonight,” said Lew Kizer, owner of SmashMeals. “That is where real meal prep matters.”
SmashMeals prepares meals in a 100% dedicated gluten-free kitchen in Kingsport and publishes a rotating weekly menu with macro information. Customers can order individual meals, breakfasts, snacks, family meals, and catering items before the Thursday 11:59 PM cutoff.
Why this week's menu matters
SmashMeals is using its current weekly menu to emphasize practical GLP-1-friendly eating patterns:
- protein-forward entrées
- smaller appetite options
- easy-to-reheat meals
- gluten-free breakfasts and snacks
- no-subscription ordering
- local pickup, local delivery, and FedEx Ground shipping where eligible
A joint advisory on GLP-1 therapy emphasizes nutrition, side-effect management, and preserving muscle and bone mass through diet and exercise. A 2026 review on medical nutrition in the GLP-1 era also highlights protein strategies, micronutrient monitoring, and resistance training.
“When someone has less appetite, every bite has to carry more responsibility,” Kizer said. “We want the food to be simple, useful, and actually enjoyable.”

Customers can view the current menu at smashmeals.com/menu or order directly at smashmeals.bottle.com. Orders close Thursday at 11:59 PM.
SmashMeals also offers GLP-1 meal education, bariatric-friendly meals, and 100% gluten-free kitchen information for customers comparing meal delivery options.
