Satiety

Calculation: 1 (base) + 0 (moderate energy density: 296 kcal/100 g) + 1 (protein: 4.6 g/100 kcal) + 0 (fiber: 0.0 g/100 kcal) + 0 (solid food with 54.8 g of water, under 70) = 2.

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.
