Satiety

Calculation: 1 (base) + 0 (moderate energy density: 229 kcal/100 g) + 0 (protein: 2.4 g/100 kcal) + 1 (fiber: 2.5 g/100 kcal) + 0 (solid food with 52.2 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

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.
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.
