Pictures of 200 Calories of Various Foods

[Clint07]

Since eating to lose or gain weight is largely about volume (getting more or less calorie dense foods), I thought this would be interesting. Here is a website with pictures and weights (or volumes) of 200 calories worth of various foods. It helps put things in perspective:

After looking at some of those pictures, it's getting me hungry.


Except for that Fiber One cereal picture. That just looks like a bunch of meal worms.

Yeah it's interesting to see that you can have a giant plate or celery or broccoli or you can have 17 gummi bears.

yeah and half a snickers is already 200. I know it is wrong, but that bacon looked mighty tast - but so did the apples.

70 grams of the bagel = 52 grams of the donut

I don't see what you're seeing.

OP: Thanks.

There is more of the donut in volume (only a small peice is cut out) because the bagel is more dense so less bagel weighs more. I think that's what he is referencing.

Great find. It really is cool to look at that. I hate pork and beans. I saw that picture and I heaved a little.

PS: I tried your protein bar recipe from another thread clint, good stuff.

Good post, the pictures make it clearer for a person to know exactly what 200 calories is.

And this is why my favorite "cheat snack" are Jelly Belly Beans...those are quite a few beans for 200 calories.
