Notes
Fun fact from the internet:
Because 90 percent of a watermelon's weight is water, it's one of the best fruits to eat if you're trying to lose weight. A 100-gram serving contains only 30 calories. It's also a great source of an amino acid called arginine, which helps burn fat quickly.Apr 9, 2019
