The typical serving is a common amount used for the math, not a recommendation. Ounces and cups are rounded US equivalents; the values come from the database entry cited in the sources.

Satiety

Calculation: 1 (base) + 2 (very low energy density: 53 kcal/100 g) + 1 (protein: 5.5 g/100 kcal) + 2 (fiber: 10.8 g/100 kcal) + 1 (solid food with 84.1 g of water) = 7; capped at 5.

The 1 to 5 score is our own estimate: it starts at 1 point, adds points for low energy density, for protein and fiber per 100 kcal, and for the water in solid foods, and subtracts points for drinks with calories. It is useful for comparing foods with each other; it is not a measurement in people.

What to keep in mind on a GLP-1 medication

High in fiber
It has at least 3 g of fiber per 100 g. Fiber adds bulk and slows digestion, which contributes to fullness, and it helps keep you regular; constipation is a common side effect of GLP-1 medications. It is usually easier to tolerate when you increase it gradually and drink enough water.
Low energy density
It has 100 kcal or less per 100 g: plenty of volume for few calories, which helps you feel full. On a GLP-1 medication, which already reduces your appetite, make sure these foods do not push protein foods off your plate.
May cause bloating
Beans and other legumes, cruciferous vegetables, onions, and carbonated drinks cause gas in some people. Because GLP-1 medications slow down stomach emptying, that bloated feeling can be more noticeable. This is an editorial judgment: many people tolerate these foods well in moderate servings.

It is an estimate based on its composition, not a measurement in people.

How do cooked artichokes fit into eating on Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, or Zepbound?

Based on our tags, this is what matters about cooked artichokes on a GLP-1 medication. “High in fiber”: a good amount of fiber, which helps keep you regular; it is easier to tolerate when you increase it gradually and drink enough water. “Low energy density”: plenty of volume for few calories; make sure it does not push protein foods off your plate. “May cause bloating”: it can cause gas or bloating in some people, and on a GLP-1 medication that feeling can be more noticeable. These are general guidelines, not medical advice: everyone tolerates foods differently.
