What changes the calories
- The rind and seeds are not eaten, so weighing a whole wedge or melon with the rind overstates how much flesh you actually ate.
- Riper cantaloupe tends to taste sweeter, but the calorie difference between melons of similar weight is small.
- Serving it with yogurt, ham, honey or a sweet dressing adds the calories of those extras on top of the melon itself.
- Portions vary a lot: a single wedge is a light snack, while finishing half a melon adds up quickly.
Tips for logging it accurately
- Weigh the cut flesh without the rind on a kitchen scale for the most accurate entry.
- Log it as raw cantaloupe, and add any toppings or dips as separate items.
- In BerryFit, you can snap a photo of your fruit bowl and then adjust the portion to match the weight you measured.
