ATLANTA, GA (June 1, 2026) – McAlister’s Deli®, a leading fast-casual destination for fresh, made-to-order meals, is announcing a menu focus on fiber packed menu items that are meant to help complement a GLP-1 lifestyle.

As the landscape of wellness continues to evolve, McAlister’s Deli has curated a GLP-1 Menu, a selection of menu items that prioritize satisfaction and nutrition without sacrificing the bold flavors that our guests crave. Designed specifically for guests seeking protein-packed and fiber-rich options, the new GLP-1 Menu provides delicious solutions that align with the dietary needs of those focused on more balanced nutrition.

McAlister’s Deli is making it easier for guests to combine popular menu items to better meet their individual dietary needs with “Choose 2”, where guests can choose two halves of any menu item to create their perfect meal. This allows guests to balance their protein intake while also incorporating other nutritional priorities, like fiber or carbohydrates. Depending on desired portion size, the “Choose 2” could even be split across two meal occasions, delivering not only on nutrition, but also value.

“At McAlister’s Deli, we have always been committed to providing a variety of menu options that fit our guests’ lifestyles,” said, Jessica Osborne, Marketing Vice President at McAlister's Deli. “With the rise of GLP-1 medications, we recognized a need for menu items that specifically support these nutritional needs. Our new offerings focus on high-protein, fiber-forward ingredients that help guests feel fueled and satisfied without sacrificing bold flavor.”

Menu Highlights:

The GLP-1 Friendly selection features a range of salads, heartier bowls, and soups, including:

• Protein-Packed Salads: Options like the Grilled Chicken Salad (48g protein) and the Southwest Chicken and Avocado Salad (46g protein) provide a balanced mix of fresh greens and lean poultry.

• Hearty, Fiber-Rich Bowls: The Red Beans and Rice (21g protein) and Chili (30g of protein) keep guests full longer.

• Lighter Favorites: For those seeking plant-based or lighter fare, the Veggie Chili (320 cal) and Garden Salad (300 cal) offer nutrient-dense alternatives that don’t skimp on taste.

To further personalize their wellness journey, guests can customize any meal with GLP-1 friendly add-ons, including fresh cucumbers, steamed broccoli, or baby spinach. The new menu is available now at participating McAlister’s Deli locations nationwide. Guests can order in-restaurant, online, or through the McAlister’s app.
