Values for rockmelon vary by brand and how it is cooked. Check the pack. General information, not medical advice.
A light fruit
Rockmelon is mostly water, so a generous bowl is a small number of calories. The comparison table shows how it sits beside other common fruit.
Weigh the flesh, not the melon
The whole-melon row is for the flesh only. The skin and seeds are not food, so a melon of any size weighs more on the scale than it does on the plate.
Rockmelon is cantaloupe
The figures come from the USDA entry for cantaloupe, which is the same fruit under its other name.
