Is Muskmelon good for weight loss?

Yes — a good choice

Muskmelon carries roughly 25 kcal per 100 g, which is low for an everyday Indian food. You can fit reasonable portions into a fat-loss diet without much trouble, as long as the rest of your day stays within your calorie target.

Is Muskmelon good for muscle gain?

Mainly an energy food

Muskmelon provides about 0.5 g of protein per 100 g, which counts as low for Indian foods. That works out to roughly 2 g of protein per 100 kcal, so it is not an efficient way to hit a protein target. Pair it with a dedicated protein source — dal, curd, paneer, eggs, soya or chicken — rather than relying on it for muscle growth.

Health tips for eating Muskmelon

Eat the whole fruit instead of juice to keep the fibre and stay full longer. Works well as a mid-morning or evening snack.
