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: 306 kcal/100 g) + 0 (protein: 2.7 g/100 kcal) + 0 (fiber: 1.1 g/100 kcal) + 0 (solid food with 32.0 g of water, under 70) = 0; raised to the minimum of 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 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.
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.
