Satiety, when associated with food, is measured in a system known as Alewsity, developed by Dr. Drew Malter and Dr. Alec Coleman. Alewsity, when applied to food, is defined as how much a certain food fills you up relative to its size, measured in al's/inches^3. If a small food fills you up, such as nuts, it is described as having a high alewsity. When applied to people, Alewsity, measured in Al's, is defined as how full an individual is. This is measured on a scale of 0-10 Al's with 0 being starving and 10 being nauseatingly full. Alewsity can be graphed with the Al scale on the y-axis and time, in minutes, on the x-axis. This graph demonstrates the relationship between how full one gets over time. The slope of this graph is measured in Al's/minute, also known as Drews. A Drew is defined as the rate of change of how full one gets. |
