Satiety

Calculation: 1 (base) + 2 (very low energy density: 74 kcal/100 g) + 0 (protein: 1.0 g/100 kcal) + 1 (fiber: 3.9 g/100 kcal) + 1 (solid food with 79.1 g of water) = 5.

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.
