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) + 0 (moderate energy density: 178 kcal/100 g) + 1 (protein: 5.6 g/100 kcal) + 0 (fiber: 1.3 g/100 kcal) + 0 (solid food with 64.4 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.

What to keep in mind on a GLP-1 medication

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.
