There is a certain difference between the calorie of half a watermelon and that of a bowl of rice, because their composition and energy content are different. Half a medium-sized watermelon weighs about 500 grams and contains about 150 calories. Watermelon is mainly composed of water, so its calories are relatively low. While a bowl of ordinary white rice weighs about150g and contains about 200 calories. Rice is mainly composed of carbohydrates, so its calories are relatively high.
Therefore, according to this estimate, the heat of 3/4 bowls of rice is about equal to that of half a watermelon. However, this is only a rough estimate, and the specific calories depend on the varieties, maturity and cooking methods of watermelon and rice.
Recommended methods for selecting good watermelons:
1, tapping sound: tap the surface of watermelon gently to see if it makes a hollow or low sound. If the sound is crisp and loud, it usually means that the watermelon is ripe and juicy.
2. Pressing feeling: Gently press the two ends or sides of the watermelon with your palm to feel if there is slight elasticity. If you feel that watermelon is slightly elastic, not too hard or too soft, it may be a good signal.
3. Appearance: Observe the skin of watermelon. Good watermelons usually have a uniform skin color without dark spots or scratches. The skin should be smooth without unevenness or deformation.
4. Tail: Observe whether the tail of watermelon is dry. If the tail remains green to a certain extent, it may mean that the watermelon is just ripe.
5. Size and weight: Visually, choose a watermelon with an appropriate size according to personal preferences and needs. Good watermelons should be relatively heavy, because they usually contain more water.
6. Sound: In the store, if there is a box for placing watermelons, tap the box gently to see if there will be a hollow sound. If it is a solid sound, it may mean that the quality of watermelon is better.
