A typical 40 g (1.5 oz) serving provides about 152 kcal, 5.3 g of protein, and 4 g of fiber.

The typical serving (40 g (1.5 oz)) 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

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.
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.

Is rolled oats filling?

Barely filling for the calories it provides: our estimated satiety score is 1 out of 5. Calculation: 1 (base) − 1 (high energy density: 379 kcal/100 g) + 0 (protein: 3.5 g/100 kcal) + 1 (fiber: 2.7 g/100 kcal) + 0 (solid food with 10.8 g of water, under 70) = 1. It is an estimate based on its composition, not a measurement in people.

What should I know about rolled oats on a GLP-1 medication?

Based on our tags, this is what matters about rolled oats 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. “High energy density”: a lot of energy in a small volume; when your appetite is very low, a small serving can help you meet your needs. These are general guidelines, not medical advice: everyone tolerates foods differently.

What counts as a normal serving of rolled oats?
