Satiety

Very low energy density; it is a liquid (less filling than an equivalent solid); sugar in liquid form.

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

Low energy density
It has 100 kcal or less per 100 g: plenty of volume for few calories, which helps you feel full. On a GLP-1 medication, which already reduces your appetite, make sure these foods do not push protein foods off your plate.
Hydrating
It has 85 g of water or more per 100 g, so it contributes to hydration. That helps because with a smaller appetite people also tend to eat and drink less, and not drinking enough can make constipation worse.
