I thought the same thing and I eat tons of watermelon. According to a food counts book that I have, a 1" slice that's a 10"diameter is 152 calories and 1/2 cup is 25 calories.0

thecaloriecounter.com sez 37, & 9.2 carbs - all simple fruit sugar.

Sounds about right. Calories are little. A Milky Way candy bar is 250,,, A Whopper w/cheese is almost 800. :noway:0 -
I think that's pretty accurate. Watermelon has quite a bit of sugar in it, natural sugar, but still sugar.:ohwell: So that's where the carbs are coming from.
So delicious though! :bigsmile:0 -
comparatively speaking, fruit is going to be a bit higher in calories because of its high sugar content. and its all carbs.0
