GLP-1 tracker template, printable

What is on the sheet

One row per day, grouped into weeks, with a header carrying the date range and space for your name if the sheet is going in a folder. You choose which columns appear, so the printout matches what you actually intend to write down rather than being someone else's idea of a tracker. Every column is an empty box. The template does no arithmetic and produces no figures of its own.

• Weight — one box per day, headed with the unit you picked so a sheet shared with a clinician is unambiguous.
• Shot day — a tick box to mark the day you took your weekly dose, so the pattern is visible at a glance across the month.
• Injection site — a short write-in box for rotating between sites.
• Protein — a running box per day in grams.
• Water — a per-day box in your chosen unit.
• Side effects — a wider box for symptoms, timing and severity, which is the column most worth having when you next see your provider.
• Notes — everything else: sleep, appetite, mood, a meal that did not sit well.

What the dose column deliberately does not do

There is a tick box for the day you took a dose and a space to write in what you were prescribed. There is no printed dose, no milligram figure, no titration ladder and no schedule of increases — not because it would be hard to add, but because it would be wrong. A printed dosing schedule on a web page is something a reader can follow, and nobody at this end knows anything about your prescription. What you take and when is set by your prescriber, and this sheet is for recording it, not for suggesting it.

If what you are after is an explanation of how titration is generally structured rather than a chart to follow, our dosing schedule guide covers the concept in general terms and defers the specifics to your provider, which is where they belong.

How to save it as a PDF

There is no separate download button because none is needed — every modern browser can print to PDF, and doing it that way means no file is generated on a server, nothing is emailed to you, and nothing about your sheet leaves the machine you are sitting at.

1. Set your options above until the preview looks right.
2. Press Print sheet, or use Ctrl+P on Windows and Linux, or Cmd+P on a Mac.
3. In the print dialog, change the destination or printer to Save as PDF — on a Mac it is under the PDF dropdown in the bottom-left corner.
4. Check the preview, then save.

A couple of practical notes. Leave background graphics off; the sheet is designed to print as black lines on white paper and will use far less ink that way. If a week is splitting awkwardly across a page break, generating four weeks at a time instead of twelve usually fixes it. The layout is sized for both A4 and US Letter without changes.

Why paper still works

It is a fair question when the same thing lives in an app. Three reasons keep coming up. A sheet on the fridge or beside the kettle is visible, and a visible log gets filled in at the moment rather than reconstructed later from memory. A sheet on paper needs no unlocking, no loading and no signal, which removes the small friction that quietly ends a lot of tracking habits in the second week.

And a printed sheet is straightforward to bring to an appointment. Handing over a page showing four weeks of symptoms with dates on them is a materially better conversation than trying to remember when the nausea was worst, and it does not involve passing your unlocked phone across a desk.

Where paper stops being the right tool

Paper cannot add anything up, cannot draw a trend, and cannot tell you your average pace or what percentage of your body weight you have lost — you would be doing all of that by hand, every week, from a stack of sheets. It also does not survive a spilled cup of tea. Plenty of people run both: paper for capture, because it is immediate, and something else for the arithmetic and the history.
