Cantaloupe calories and nutrition facts
100 grams of cantaloupe contains 34 calories, with 0.8 g of protein, 8.2 g of carbohydrate and 0.2 g of fat. It provides 0.9 g of fiber and 7.9 g of sugar per 100 g. Most of its calories come from carbohydrate.
Cantaloupe is about 90% water, so a generous cup of cubes costs only around 60 calories — melon is the classic high-volume, low-energy breakfast fruit. It smells sweet at the stem end when ripe and of nothing at all when it is not. Cut melon does not improve in the fridge, so buy it whole if you can.
