It is used after a verb (or adjective as main verb), linking it to following phrase indicating effect, degree, possibility etc
Conceivably, "very little" is not the object of the sentence, but an adverbial phrase.
This whole lesson has been very strange to me. I've commented in other places have some of this Chinese doesn't feel natural. Maybe 很饱 is another type of Taiwanese saying. I was taught to say 我饱了 or 我吃饱了.

Why is 非常 more appropriate here than 真? It doesnt accept if I swap 非常 for 真 in the abive sentence
would someone be able to explain why 少 rather than 小 makes more sense here?
Because the developers are slack. It is a valid pronunciation, but is wrong in this context, which is why it's correctly pronounced in the entire sentence, but not when pronounced individually. It's not the only word either. 了is always pronounced liao by the female, rather than le. And there was another word (forget now), where only the tone was wrong, which was worse because it was one of those choose the correct character exercises.
Why is there not "because " in the first phrase, as there had to be with She is sick, so so eats very little?
Why no "le" after "bao"? I thought any sort of completed action or state required "le"
