Bengali food is naturally protein-friendly. Some small adjustments make it perfect for GLP-1.

What works

Maach (fish) at every meal is excellent — high protein, omega-3, low saturated fat. Bhindi, alu-posto, mochar ghonto — all GLP-1 compatible.

Reduce rice portion to ½ katori; bulk up with more vegetable and fish. Use mustard oil sparingly. Mishti dahi in moderation.

150 g maach jhol + ½ katori rice + dal + sabzi + 1 small katori plain dahi. ~36 g protein.

You don't need to. You do need to know where it's hiding.

You don't need to abstain. You do need to be smarter about it.

Your daily chai isn't going anywhere. Just rethink the sugar.
