Hey guys.
So after a long day i had some grilled drumsticks for dinner and then a big amount of watermelon after, i do know that it contains alot of sugar but still i had a large amount and i'm feeling guilty atm.
So is it too bad or makes me gain weight?
Thanks

Please go back over every other post you've made asking nearly the exact same question about every single meal/food you've ever eaten.
The answer will be the same.55 -
It will only make you gain weight if it took you over your maintenance calories. Unlikely but possible if you ate a huge amount like the whole watermelon. Did you weigh the amount you ate?2

Um, with the exception of the past couple of days, you haven't been posting here since December.
Regardless of whether you got to your goal or not, the answer is still the same.12 -

Yes. Watermelon has been scientifically proven to be one of the 5 worst foods for dieting by (insert worthless source here).
Also spot fat removal is a thing and water has calories.
No.26 -

How much did it weigh? What was the size of your portion in grams or ounces? How many calories did that put on your chart for the day?
I ate a massive watermelon over a few days last week. Cut it into approximately equal portions, weighed the skin on the first day, and subtracted from the total weight of that portion, and used that as a guide for the following days.
Didn't put me over my daily calories on any of those days.4 -
No, it's not bad. And that's the exact answer for any food item you want to ask about in the future.12

Lol. How many pounds do you think you ate?
There is 136 cals per pound of watermelon (34 carbs; 28 sugars, 1.8 grams fiber, 2.8 grams of protein; lot's of potassium).
Mmmmm watermelon.7 -
Why do you think it's bad? Why do you feel guilty?5
-
If you feel guilty you can send me 75% of your watermelon. I bet you that 25% of your watermelon weighed much more and simultaneously had less calories than the mere 84 grams of Kit Kat I ate!

if you're not weighing your food, how do you know you're eating 1800 cals?6 -
Watermelon is delicious. Enjoy. It doesn't matter what foods we eat its all about consistently staying within our calorie allowance.1

It's only bad if it robs a bank.5

No.
You forgot to mention that even though cave men never ate watermelon if you use this "weird tip" (eat it while standing on your head and squirt the left over juice up your nose while still standing on your head) that none of the calories count. Of course that "weird tip" only works for standard red watermelons so if you want to know what to do with seedless red watermelons or the yellow ones, you will have to buy the book of "weird tips".

^This, lol. There's no such thing as a "bad" food. CICO is good.1 -
No...watermelon is not "bad". If your overall goal is to have a healthier relationship with food that will help you become a healthier version of yourself I would highly suggest you move away from thinking of foods in terms of whether or not they are "good" or "bad".6
