How much watermelon can you eat at one time?

Since watermelon is 90 percent water, many people believe it can be eaten without limitation. However, according to doctors, it also contains a considerable amount of rapidly absorbed sugars and carbohydrates.

For a healthy person, the recommended amount of watermelon to eat at one time is 300–500 grams. This is roughly half a kilogram.

However, eating too much watermelon within a short period can cause heaviness in the stomach and bloating.

Doctors advise people with kidney disease, heart failure and cardiovascular conditions to limit their watermelon intake.
