Subscribe200 Calories: Photo Gallery
Every wondered what 200 Calorie portions look like?
Wisegeek lists over 70 food items (in order of weight) along with an appropriate photo of each. Topping the list is celery - where it takes a massive 1.4 kilograms to provide 200 calories of food energy.
Another good place to check is the Calorie King Portion Watch tool.

Neat idea, I just wish I could have seen all of the photos (dinosaur rural dial-up internet). I hope a lot of young 'dieters' out there see it and realise they can eat a lot more than they think if they eat the right foods.
ReplyThat was cool, now I'm hungry. I want some peas! Hahaha
Replycool :-) I want fruit now
ReplyVery cool.
ReplyThat made me hungry:)
I was especially craving eggs and avocado for some bizarre reason
ReplyThat's so neat. I totally figured out the whole calorie-density thing early on in my weight loss journey. I figured I could either eat a little handful of crackers or a good-sized serving of carrots and celery as a snack. Well, duh, of course I picked the option that makes me feel more full. Looking at those pictures made me hungry too! Mmmm, eggs sound really good right now. Was anyone else surprised to realize that ketchup has quite a few calories on its own? I don't usually use ketchup because of that, but I never really realized how many calories it does have.
ReplyI have to confess I love ketchup. It is one of the processed foods I do buy. I use it maybe once every 10 days, but if I couldn't have it, I'd feel deprived. I buy Stevia-sweetened though, so it is very low calorie. 5 calories per tablespoon, and I couldn't eat a whole tablespoon of ketchup.
ReplyWow, where do you find that? The main reason I don't buy ketchup is that it's so sugar-laden. I'd maybe buy stevia-sweetened ketchup if I liked it.
ReplyI love Ketchup also! I think one of our presidents said it was one of the vegetables they served at school! It gets more respect now. I can find it in a no-salt version which is really sweet! :-)
ReplyWe have 4 or 5 local companies that make it, and a couple also make stevia BBQ and Steak sauce, since they export a lot to the Japanese market (they usually come labeled in Portuguese and Japanese).
I checked out a few of the sugar-free American ones online and the one that resembled the ones I buy the most was by a brand called Steel's Gourmet, except that it uses Splenda instead of stevia. A lot of others had a bunch of chemicals and ingredients you don't find in regular ketchup (powdered egg yolk???), or they were loaded with sugar alcohols.
