What one serving looks like
One bowl of about 200 g of watermelon cubes is a big bowl, about four generous slices.
Where it fits in a 1,200 to 1,600 kcal day
At 60 kcal, one serving is about 4 percent of a 1,600 kcal day and about 5 percent of a 1,200 kcal day. A bowl of watermelon is a refreshing snack that counts as mostly water. It works well in summer.

How cooking changes the number
Raw. Adding chaat masala adds salt but not many calories.
A swap to try
Try Papaya. Papaya is another low calorie fruit with a bit more substance. Papaya (1 katori cubes, about 150 g) comes to 65 kcal, which is 5 kcal more than 60 for watermelon, but it brings something different to the plate.
