Various foods in portions of 200 calories [45 pictures]
We all have a rough idea of calories and that we should only consume about 2000 of them each day. But what does that actually look like? This series of images makes it easier to visualize what makes up a day’s helping of calories, depending on what types of foods we’re eating.
Each photo is 200 calories’ worth of the food pictured. More info and pics at Wise Geek.

Interesting, but those aren’t Smarties.
They look like smarties to me.
The pictured Smarties are American I think.
Those are Rocket candies…. Smarties are candy coated.
In the US, Smarties are what Canadians call Rockets.
Smarties = M&Ms
Same Co. Same recipe.
GM = Opel
Don’t know what those claiming to be smarties things are but they remind me of sherbet sweetie necklace things but.
Canadian smarties and M&M’s are not the same. They taste quite different…
They look like what New Zealanders call “fizzy lollies”
Our smarties are just like M&M’s except flatter and not quite as nice. We also have pebbles which are the same as smarties but taste better.
Of course Canadians would have their candy all wrong.
or the americans, seeing that all of Europe also wouldn’t call these things smarties
As an American, I wholeheartedly agree we are backwards. :D
Ah fruits and veggies, how amazingly low calorie you are. Perfect example here visually of why people who eat fruits and veggies get full for way, way, way less calories (not to mention way less FAT). I want that big plate of carrots!!!
Calories pschew!
Stop eating wheat for three days and say hello to the old you on Morning No4.
Then realise how long you have been eating a poison.
Take it from me….
Life’s neat with no wheat.
This was the best comment. :)
So next time instead of veggies in my pasta, I’ll have pasta in my veggies.
And just what percentage of modern “Wheat” is in all that?
What is a calorie if your body is being tricked into wanting things that hurt it?
Isn’t it cruelly ironic, and slightly sadistic, to know that all the money you put into pension funds just grows food that makes you ill?
Wheat is not wheat these days and I wouldn’t even eat an animal that has been fed on it.
We gave up feeding it to the sheep 20 odd yrs ago as it made their noses run with snot.
Like a fool I didn’t make the connection until a year or so back.
Stop eating so called wheat.
Organic spelt pasta is really tasty as Spelt is the original wheat sort of thing.
Oh, by the way, I’d check out how much of your pension is invested in wheat by-products as that is where you’ll get shafted as fund managers try to shift the shite downwards.
The rest is cool, but the peanut butter picture just depresses me.
I learned from this that Coke us better for me than milk. That’s what I was supposed to get from this, right?
Whole milk.
“The ‘whole’ milk from the store (commonly labelled ‘Vitamin D’ milk) is not really Whole milk – it’s butterfat is either 3.25% or 4.0%, depending on state laws (most states are 3.25%)
True ‘whole’ milk means it has the full 8-10% butterfat, and has not had any cream (fat) removed since it came out of the cow. The ‘Vitamin D’ milk in the stores has actually had part of the cream removed.”
Besides, calories are not a good indicator of health. Milk is a lot better than pure sugar.
Don’t know what you are quoting from but it is wrong. Whole raw milk ranges in butterfat content from 2.5% to 4.9% depending on the breed. A dairy product with 10% butterfat would be labeled light table cream. Here’s the source of data:

Considering a lot of these food are American…assume those smarties are American as well!
