Why it received this rating
The green rating applies to fresh watermelon in a normal serving. One cup provides mostly water plus about 11 grams of carbohydrate and very little fat, making it different from juice, candy, or syrup-packed fruit.

Portion and preparation guidance
Start with about 1 cup diced. Eat it slowly, and pair it with yogurt, cottage cheese, or another protein if you need a more complete snack.
Symptoms or considerations
Because watermelon is mostly water, a very large bowl can create a lot of stomach volume quickly. If that feels uncomfortable, reduce the portion rather than eliminating the fruit.
