Food Satiety Index
P. Petocz e Farmakalidis have reported in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition a table on the “Index Satiety” as a result of an investigation on a group of people.
The bread was considered as a reference value: 100.
| FOOD SATIETY INDEX | FOOD |
| 100 | Bread |
| 157 | Integral Bread |
| 49 | Croissant |
| 120 | Biscuits |
| 127 | Crackers |
| 120 | Pasta |
| 130 | Rice |
| 135 | Lentils |
| 170 | Beans |
| 320 | Boiled Potatoes |
| 91 | Chips |
| 160 | Ice Cream |
| 84 | Yoghurt |
| 150 | Eggs |
| 170 | Meat |
| 140 | Fresh cheese |
| 150 | Pop Corn |
| 200 | Oranges |
| 190 | Apples |
| 120 | Corn Flakes |
| 150 | Bran |
The table can be useful for the people interested in a “diet”. As you can see, the croissants have only 50% of the “satiety” value of bread and the boiled potatoes have 3 times more.
