Why this score
a satiety boosterExceptional fullness per calorie — but at only 17 kcal per 100 g, it can't fill you up on its own. Its power is making a meal bigger and more filling at almost no calorie cost; pair it with protein.
Three routes to fullness — one is enough
What pulls it down
Nothing here converges the way engineered food does — no sugar, no savoury and no alcohol penalty.
