Pummelo - How Many Calories?

Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Pummelo

• Metabolic Effect: Packing 61 mg of Vitamin C per 100g, this fruit acts as a metabolic spark plug that enhances fat oxidation and strengthens your immune barrier. The 216 mg of potassium works effectively to regulate fluid balance and flush out stubborn bloating caused by excess sodium.
• Consumption Tip: I always advise my clients to eat the segments whole to benefit from the fiber rather than juicing it, which prevents the 9.62g of carbs from spiking your insulin. To stay full until your next meal, pair your pummelo slices with a small serving of raw almonds for a perfect macro-balance.
• What to Watch For: Much like grapefruit, pummelo contains compounds that can interfere with the breakdown of certain medications, particularly statins, so professional guidance is vital. While it is heart-friendly with only 1 mg of sodium, its high potassium concentration requires careful portioning for those with compromised kidney function.
• Exercise Equivalent: Offsetting the 38 calories in a 100g serving is incredibly easy, requiring just 10 minutes of steady cycling. Alternatively, a brisk 8-minute swim will burn through this refreshing snack while keeping your muscles toned.
