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) − 1 (high energy density: 356 kcal/100 g) + 1 (protein: 6.3 g/100 kcal) + 0 (fiber: 0.0 g/100 kcal) + 0 (solid food with 44.2 g of water, under 70) = 1.

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 protein
It has at least 10 g of protein per 100 g and 6 g per 100 kcal. Protein is the most filling nutrient per calorie and helps preserve muscle mass during weight loss, which matters especially when a GLP-1 medication reduces your appetite.
Nutritious in small servings
It provides protein, healthy fats, or other nutrients in a small volume. That is practical when you eat little and every bite needs to count.
High energy density
It has more than 300 kcal per 100 g: a lot of energy in a small volume, so it is less filling per calorie. That does not make it a bad food; when your appetite is very low, a small serving can help you meet your needs.
