Calorie question

  • Hey, so I feel like I should know this, but I have to ask. Does anybody here eat grapefruit? I only ask because I am curios about serving sizes and calories. I remember that a serving size of fruit is medium, about the size of a baseball...but when the fruit has the peel that is unedible does that size include the peel or not? If that doesn't make sense, I'm sorry. But I am curios because am I thinking of making grapefruit a regular part of my breakfast. Thank you all.

    I would think that the peel would only be counted when it is edible (as with apples, potatoes, etc.)
  • No you do not count the peel.

    If you are going by diabetic/dietetic exchanges, it is 1/2 of it or about 11 oz.
