satiety per calorie · 0–100 · not a virtue scale
Why this score
a satiety boosterExceptional fullness per calorie — but at only 16 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
