Description: Background: With the rise of glucagon-like-peptide-1 receptor agonist medications (GLP-1RA) for obesity treatment, understanding diet quality can be a valuable tool for providing evidence-based nutrition guidance. However, there is limited data on dietary intake during GLP-1RA treatment. Thus, we analyzed diet quality and nutrient timing while using GLP-1RA. Methods: This was a secondary analysis from a previous cross-sectional online survey questionnaire study involving adults currently using GLP-1RA for weight reduction (N = 69, 49.6 ± 12.3 years old, 35.9 ± 9.1 kg/m2). Three-day food records were analyzed using the Healthy Eating Index (HEI), a validated score that indicates overall diet quality. The 13 HEI components were scored from average 3-day food records and calculated using 95 % confidence intervals (CI). A Bonferroni correction applied significance accepted at p = 0.0038. Additionally, 95 % CI were calculated for calories, macronutrients, and fiber intake reported for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks. Results: A 95 % CI revealed a total HEI score of 54 ± 12 (51.4, 57.3), significantly below the HEI goal (p
