Satiety
Low energy density; moderate protein per calorie; moderate fiber per calorie.
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.
This food was measured in people: in the satiety index by Holt and colleagues (1995), which compared 240 kcal servings of 38 foods over two hours, it scored 188 versus 100 for white bread. In other words, it was more filling than the same calories of white bread. Source: Holt SH, Miller JC, Petocz P, Farmakalidis E. A satiety index of common foods. Eur J Clin Nutr. 1995;49(9):675-90.
