Drinks
Gazpacho
Each 100 ml (3.4 fl oz) of gazpacho has 26 kcal and 2.8 g of sugars, and as a drink those calories tend to fill you up less than the same calories from solid food.
Estimated satietyHow it is calculated
Estimated satiety: 3 out of 5
| Starting point | +1 |
|---|---|
| Very low energy density: 26 kcal/100 g | +2 |
| Protein: 3.1 g/100 kcal | 0 |
| Fiber: 3.8 g/100 kcal | +1 |
| Liquid, less filling than a solid; 2.8 g of sugars, under 8 | −1 |
Our own estimate from the values per 100 g: useful for comparing foods with each other, not a measurement in people. Holt index (1995): this food was not measured.

A typical 250 ml (8.5 fl oz, about 1 cup) serving provides about 65 kcal, 2 g of protein, and 2.5 g of fiber.
What it is and how to eat it
The DLE, the Spanish-language dictionary, defines gazpacho as a cold soup whose basic ingredients are tomato, pepper, oil, vinegar, garlic and salt, typical above all of Andalusia. The USDA recipe used on this page contains raw tomato, low-sodium tomato juice, pepper, cucumber, onion, salt and only 0.3 g of oil per 80.7 g of ingredients, with no garlic or vinegar. That is why it has only 26 kcal and 0.63 g of fat per 100 g; with more oil, the calories go up.
A 250 g (8.8 oz) glass provides 65 kcal, 2.5 g of fiber and 2 g of protein, with about 233 g of water. It is served cold and sipped, and the 2025 nutrition advisory on GLP-1 therapy lists tomatoes among the vegetables to encourage, notes that soups are often more appealing than heavier foods when hunger is low and recommends ensuring adequate fluids. Since it has almost no protein, which the same advisory suggests eating first, pair it with chopped hard-boiled egg, tuna or chicken. The NIDDK, part of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, lists tomatoes among the acidic foods linked to reflux, which the Wegovy (semaglutide) label classifies as a common adverse reaction in its 68-week trials; if you get heartburn, try half a glass.
What the evidence says
According to the USDA recipe, almost three quarters of its weight is raw vegetables, so a 250 g glass contains about 186 g, not counting the tomato juice, almost half of the 400 g of fruit and vegetables a day WHO recommends for everyone older than 10 (my calculation). It has 208 mg of sodium per 100 g according to USDA, 520 mg per glass, more than a quarter of the 2,000 mg a day WHO recommends not exceeding. Its roughly 233 g of water per glass is a little over a tenth of the 2.0 liters of total water a day EFSA sets as the adequate intake for adult women (2.5 liters for men), a reference that counts drinks and food. With 36 mg of vitamin C per 100 g, a glass provides 90 mg, a little more than the EU's 80 mg reference value (Regulation (EU) No 1169/2011).
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.

Frequently asked questions about gazpacho
How much protein does a 250 ml (8.5 fl oz) serving of gazpacho have?
100 ml (3.4 fl oz) of gazpacho has 0.8 g of protein. A typical 250 ml (8.5 fl oz) serving has about 2 g of protein. That is 3.1 g of protein per 100 kcal.
How many calories are in a 250 ml (8.5 fl oz) serving of gazpacho?
100 ml (3.4 fl oz) of gazpacho has 26 kcal. A typical 250 ml (8.5 fl oz) serving has about 65 kcal. That is a very low energy density.
How many grams of fiber are in a 250 ml (8.5 fl oz) serving of gazpacho?
100 ml (3.4 fl oz) of gazpacho has 1 g of fiber. A typical 250 ml (8.5 fl oz) serving has about 2.5 g of fiber.
How filling is gazpacho?
Moderately: our estimated satiety score is 3 out of 5. Calculation: 1 (base) + 2 (very low energy density: 26 kcal/100 g) + 0 (protein: 3.1 g/100 kcal) + 1 (fiber: 3.8 g/100 kcal) − 1 (liquid, less filling than a solid; 2.8 g of sugars, under 8) = 3. It is an estimate based on its composition, not a measurement in people.
Is gazpacho a good choice on a GLP-1 medication?
Based on our tags, this is what matters about gazpacho on a GLP-1 medication. “Low energy density”: plenty of volume for few calories; make sure it does not push protein foods off your plate. “Hydrating”: a lot of water, which contributes to hydration when you eat and drink less. These are general guidelines, not medical advice: everyone tolerates foods differently.
How many milliliters or fluid ounces are in a serving of gazpacho?
We use 250 ml (8.5 fl oz) as a typical serving, about 1 cup (1 ml is treated as about 1 g). That amount provides about 65 kcal, 2 g of protein, and 2.5 g of fiber. It is a reference for calculations, not a recommendation of how much to eat.
