Is eating a piece of watermelon really equivalent to eating five bowls of rice, and what is the scientific basis?

In the hot summer, I believe that many small partners like to hold watermelons, blow air conditioning, and chase the latest hot dramas, which is probably the most comfortable look in summer
.
However, if the small partner who loves to eat watermelon knows that eating a watermelon is really equal to five bowls of rice, he will probably put down the watermelon in his hand immediately, and even a "melon eating crowd" does not want to be, right?

Is that one watermelon really equal five bowls of rice?

The answer is no
.
First, every 100g of watermelon contains 25kcal of calories, while rice of the same quality contains 116kcal
.
We calculate with a watermelon 2000g, a bowl of rice 150g, eat a watermelon calories up to 500kcal, compared to the rice 174kcal, it is indeed a lot higher, but not as much as
the five bowls of white rice.

Although the statement is not rigorous enough, then there are still about three bowls of rice! Isn't that even a melon that can't be eaten well? The answer is of course you can eat, but eat
with moderation.
Although up to 94% of watermelon is water, the sugar content is 4%-7%, which is not particularly high
.
However, because the feeling of fullness in eating watermelon is not strong, everyone will not be able to control eating one piece after another, and there will be five bowls of rice above
.
The suggestion is to eat about two pieces a day is enough, if you accidentally eat a little more hungry, but also reduce the intake of other staple foods of the day, to avoid excessive calorie
intake.

So what's the difference between watermelon and rice?

According to the comparison of the above two figures, we can clearly see that the protein, phosphorus, iron and other contents of rice are more than the content of watermelon, which can be more effective in supplementing protein and minerals, and rice is easier to make people feel full than watermelon, and it is not easy to eat
excessively.
However, watermelon has more vitamin C and carotene content than rice, so eating watermelon can supplement some vitamins
that cannot be obtained in rice.
Therefore, everyone does not have to smell the "melon" discoloration, eating watermelon has the benefit of eating watermelon, as long as you control the amount of food, and do a good job of dietary balance, you can eat very healthy
