Satiety

Calculation: 1 (base) − 2 (very high energy density: 587 kcal/100 g) + 1 (protein: 4.2 g/100 kcal) + 0 (fiber: 1.4 g/100 kcal) + 0 (solid food with 1.8 g of water, under 70) = 0; raised to the minimum of 1.

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.
Nutritious in small servings
It provides protein, healthy fats, or other nutrients in a small volume. That is practical when you eat little and every bite needs to count.
High energy density
It has more than 300 kcal per 100 g: a lot of energy in a small volume, so it is less filling per calorie. That does not make it a bad food; when your appetite is very low, a small serving can help you meet your needs.
