Summer and mangoes seems inseparable. This healthy fruit, rich in vitamin A, is too tempting to resist. At the same time,mangoes are quite high in calories. For instance a medium sized ripe mango contains around 300 calories. While indulging in juicy mangoes this season, dieticians suggest we keep certain points in mind.Its ok to eat a mango daily. Cut down on other sweets so that the calories in-take remains balanced. Mangoes are not only rich in vitamin A, (good for eyes and skin), they are also a source of anti-oxidants because of their orange colour. Mangoes are high in fibre too. Again, fresh green mango panna is re-hydrating, while a glass of milk shake can remove fatigue quickly.
One or two mangoes a day is fine and rather beneficial. If you workout everyday there is no need to worry about the calorie intake. Still,if you are too finicky, half-an-hour of brisk walking will be enough to burn the calories you consume. However, diabetics shouldn't eat more than a slice or two as mangoes have high sugar content.

I love mangoes; in fact I bought two yesterday and I'm waiting for them to ripen. I didn't know they had so many calories but, what the heck, I'll just use the treadmill for an extra 30 minutes!
I do agree with you but I try to minimise my intake of mangoes due to the high sugar content. Could you tell me which variety is the best in Hyderabad.
I bought Himayat on Saturday and I must say that the fruit is aromatic and sumptuous.
