Anyone else on here who loves watermelon? I think it's great since I can eat a fair amount of it to curb my hunger without having to suffer from eating a ton of calories as well. It's juicy and the perfect snack on a hot day.
Who's with me? :wink:

    I love it. I ate a whole melon over the course of some days this year and ate pounds of the stuff when i was in the hospital last year.

    I love all the melons (cantaloupe, watermelon and honeydew). Very refreshing on a hot day.

    I looked this up, and 16 ounce glass of the liquid would be only 128 calories.
    That's surprisingly low. Has to be wrong.

    Adding: Change liquid to juice from watermelon. Sorry for the confusion.

    I loooooove watermelon season! Besides eating it plain I also like to turn it into a salad with feta cheese, balsamic vinegar, and red onions. Sounds bizarre but really delicious!

    I could just eat watermelon all day. I might have to pee 100 times that day, but it would be worth it, lol.

    Yep, me too.

    I just miss the watermelons I used to get as a kid. The newer varieties the stores are carrying aren't nearly as tasty. The ones at our local farmers market haven't been any better.

    I did find yet another variety to try and it's sitting on my kitchen counter even now, waiting for me to cut into it. My hopes are high! :wink:

    I used to HATE watermelon. I mean, so much that I'd get nauseous just SMELLING it! Then, after a LOOOONG, hot and humid day at a soccer tournament on Saturday, my wife offered me some of her watermelon, all cut and chilled and juicy and delicious and low in calories and... 'scuse me, I think it's time to leave work and have some watermelon!

    Love it - I always have watermelon in the house, even though it can get really pricey off season here. I get those little personal size ones, but for Fathers Day coming up, I bought a big one, as I am doing a watermelon, feta cheese and olive salad (theres other stuff in it but those are the main ingredients!)

    its one if my favorite foods.. even out of season when it sucks. I eat it usually everyday. anywhere from 200-700 grams haha id eat more probably. What i love about it is when im hot and thirsty its so satisfying. Cold and hydrating. If i am dehydrated from just not drinking a lot of water i crave it like crazy.

    So disappointed - had to cut off a good quarter of my watermelon because it went all soft like it had a massive bruise. What was left was OK - good flavor, but the flesh was stringy. Ah, well, the search continues!
