Lose the Fat.Keep the Muscle.Finally.
GLP-1 medications are powerful — but they don't discriminate. Up to 39% of the weight you lose is muscle. Zova is the first app built specifically to stop that.

GLP-1 Is Taking
Your Muscle
With the Fat
Lower Resting Metabolism
Less muscle means fewer calories burned at rest — making weight regain almost inevitable after stopping GLP-1.
The Rebound Trap
Fat returns within 12 months of stopping. Muscle does not. Most users end up fatter and weaker than when they started.
Injection Day Protein Crash
GLP-1 nausea peaks 24–48h post-injection, causing users to skip protein — the #1 driver of muscle loss.
Doctors Don't Track This
Your prescriber monitors weight and A1C. Nobody is monitoring your muscle-to-fat ratio between visits.
Zova Solves All of This
Users following the Zova protocol lost only 8.7% of weight as lean mass — vs. the 25–39% trial average. Two out of three gained muscle while losing fat.
Your Protein Ring.
Your Muscle Insurance.
Every morning, your dashboard shows exactly where you stand. One glance at the protein ring tells you whether today is a win or a warning. No spreadsheets. No guesswork.
Adaptive Protein Target
Your target recalculates against your fat-free mass as you lose weight — not your starting weight. Standard apps cause chronic under-fueling.
Daily Streak & Momentum
Consecutive days hitting your protein target. The streak is the habit. The habit is the muscle.
Muscle Risk Score
A daily 0–100 composite score combining protein adequacy, training frequency, deficit rate, and injection timing. Your personal muscle health gauge.

Point. Shoot.
Know If It Protects Your Muscle.
Photograph any meal and get an instant AI-powered Muscle Protection Score (0–100) in seconds. Not just calories — the metrics that actually matter for keeping your muscle on GLP-1.
Instant Leucine Analysis
Checks if your meal hits the ≥2.5g leucine threshold required to trigger muscle protein synthesis via mTOR activation. Most apps don't even know what leucine is.
Smart Swap Suggestions
When a meal scores low, the AI immediately suggests what to add or swap to hit your muscle protection threshold without changing your whole meal.
Automatic Meal Logging
Every scan logs your meal, updates your daily protein ring, and contributes to your Muscle Risk Score — zero manual entry required.
Log Every Meal
In Under 5 Seconds.
The biggest reason people stop tracking is friction. Zova eliminates it. Open the camera, tap once, and your meal is logged with full nutrition data — no barcode scanning, no database searching, no typing.
Recognize Any Food
Restaurant meals, home cooking, packaged food, smoothies — the AI identifies and breaks down the nutrition in virtually any meal you photograph.
One-Tap Corrections
If the AI gets the portion size wrong, a single tap adjusts it. The scan is a starting point, not a final answer — you stay in control.
Injection Day Mode
On your shot day, the scanner automatically filters suggestions for nausea-friendly, high-protein options — the day most users crash their protein intake.

Stop Guessing
What to Eat This Week.
One tap generates a complete 7-day meal plan calibrated to your protein target, food preferences, and GLP-1 injection schedule. Every meal is optimized to hit the leucine threshold that triggers muscle protein synthesis.
GLP-1 Optimized
Smaller, more frequent meals designed around reduced appetite. Nausea-friendly options automatically scheduled on your injection days.
Fully Customizable
Dietary preferences, allergies, cuisine style, and calorie target — all respected. Regenerate any single day or swap individual meals with one tap.
Export & Share
Download as a PDF or share directly with your dietitian, partner, or meal prep service. Your plan, your way.
Training Built for
Your Exact Situation.
Generic workout apps weren't designed for people in a caloric deficit on appetite-suppressing medication. Zova's GLP-1 workout library is. Every program is calibrated for lower energy availability, injection day fatigue, and maximum muscle preservation.
Muscle-Preserving Compound Movements
Prioritizes squats, deadlifts, rows, and presses — the movements with the highest muscle retention signal per unit of energy spent.
Injection Day Adjustments
Workouts automatically de-load on your shot day. Lower intensity, shorter duration, same muscle signal — without pushing through nausea.
Progressive Overload Tracking
Every session is logged. The app tracks your volume, suggests when to increase weight, and shows your strength trend over time.

People Who Kept
Their Muscle
Early access users following the Zova protocol. Real people. Real GLP-1 journeys.
"Lost 28 lbs and my DEXA scan showed I kept 94% of my muscle. My doctor was shocked. She said most of her GLP-1 patients lose 3–4x more lean mass."
"I was losing strength fast in the first 3 months. Zova caught that my protein was only hitting 60% on injection days. Fixed that one thing and my strength came back in 6 weeks."
"The injection day protocol is a game changer. I used to feel so sick I'd skip everything. Now I've hit my protein every single shot day for 10 weeks straight."
"The weekly report showed my risk score climbing for 2 weeks before I even noticed I was slipping. Caught it early. That early warning system is worth $50/month alone."
"I've lost 35 lbs. My physical therapist said my muscle-to-fat ratio is better than most people her age who never took GLP-1. I attribute that entirely to the protein targets."
"I was skeptical of another health app. But Zova is different — it's the only one that actually understands what GLP-1 does to your body and builds every feature around that reality."

Every Zova feature is grounded in published clinical data. Here's what the research actually says.
of total weight lost on semaglutide is lean mass — not fat. This is the baseline every GLP-1 user is fighting against.
lean mass loss achieved by users following the structured protein + resistance training protocol that Zova is built on.
of normal muscle aging compressed into a single GLP-1 treatment cycle — without intervention.
leucine per meal is the threshold required to trigger muscle protein synthesis. Zova tracks this automatically.
protein per kg of body weight per day is the minimum recommended for GLP-1 users. Most users consume 40–60% of this target.
