I love it. And just found out 1 cup is 46 calories. Kinda interesting. Growing up I always heard its just water. N never really thought of what else was in it
I know a cup of grapes is 100 cals. 45 for a cup of quartered strawberries
Anyways. I find it kinda fascinating. And then like a 4 oz beef burger is like 280 cals
Anyways anyone else check calories w things?
With my work I do a lot n trying to change different eating habits
But watermelon n chol milk is my favorite

The whole calories thing is a much bigger minefield than it seems.
Like what is worse for your weight 300 calories of water melon or 100 calories of milk chocolate?
When you consider the calories from starchs/cellulose/fibre and what your body can actually absorb as well as the other nutrients that come in at the same time.
Fructose is easily absorbed and then broken down (not stored), compare to say sucrose or glucose (or any hyper sugars used in most processed foods now).
So pigging out on "high sugar" fruits isnt really that bad.
Kinda like how some people seem to be concerned about how fatty avacado is (Even though its all good fats....people often just dont know what a "good fat" is)

I was checking calories a bunch for a while. Then I stopped and just started running a lot instead. So far I think it's working out for the best.

Well sage has met my girl. We count calories for her n I try to portion it out. Fruits veggies pristine n carbs
She's been doing really great this past yr. actually had to put weight on her. Her body is responding a lot better to this type of even diet other than what she was on before. Same amount of calories but just better food made w love. Lol
I have an app on my phone that counts cals n u can also see the web n proteins n all that stuff with. It's helpful.
Mmmmmm I love me chocolate milk!!! W salty watermelon lol
160 calories of happy dani!!! Hahaha

I like watermelon sometimes. And chocolate milk is good. But both together sounds kind of gross. I find that I get bored of counting calories but I'll try it again just for shits and giggles.
