What Does 200 Calories Look Like?

Posted by on Feb 22, 2013 in FOOD, GOOD CAUSES

Celery 1425 grams = 200 Calories

For the calorie-counters out there: this one’s for you. WiseGEEK.com has put together a collection of 71 photographs, each displaying a different type of food… but only 200 calories of it. Consider “What Does 200 Calories Look Like?” a new form of the infographic – perhaps, the photo-graphic. While the pile of carrots is expected, the trio of eggs and the two-thirds of a sesame bagel become a reality check. Other interesting visuals include the spoonful of peanut butter and the overflowing amount of celery that fits on the uniform measuring tare, the humble dinner plate. The study is thorough and interesting, but be warned! You might soon regret that last Snickers bar.

Blueberry Muffin 72 grams = 200 Calories

Glazed Doughnut 52 grams = 200 Calories

Apples 385 grams = 200 Calories

Baby Carrots 570 grams = 200 Calories

Hot Dogs 66 grams = 200 Calories
