Why this score
a satiety boosterExceptional fullness per calorie — but at only 40 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

Percentages are the share of calories from each macronutrient.
Olive Gardenpublishes this item's nutrition but not what it weighs, so the portion above is worked back from the energy density of minestrone (40 kcal per 100 g). That assumption moves the energy-density and sodium figures; the protein, fibre and craving parts of the score are ratios of calories and are unaffected.
Nutrition as published by Olive Garden — check it yourself. The score measures satiety per calorie. It is not a virtue scale, and no food here is forbidden. How the score works.
