Horned melon (Kiwano) - How Many Calories?

Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Horned melon (Kiwano)

• Metabolic Effect: Every 100g serving delivers 123 mg of potassium and 1.13 mg of iron, which helps stabilize blood pressure and boosts oxygen delivery to your muscles. I find these nutrients essential for keeping your daily energy levels high and accelerating your cellular recovery.
• Consumption Tip: Since it contains only 44 calories, I recommend scooping the fruit out and eating it raw to preserve the full 5.3 mg of Vitamin C. You can also mix the lime-like gel into your Greek yogurt for a refreshing snack that strengthens your immune system without adding excess weight.
• What to Watch For: While 7.56g of carbohydrates is relatively low, I still advise my clients with insulin sensitivity to keep an eye on portion sizes. Because this fruit lacks fiber, I suggest pairing it with a few raw nuts to prevent any sudden spikes in your blood sugar levels.
• Exercise Equivalent: Burning off the 44 kcal from this fruit is remarkably easy, requiring only a brisk 8-minute walk. If you prefer the pool, a quick 5-minute moderate swim is more than enough to offset this light, hydrating snack.
