37 Eye-Opening, Shocking Examples of What 200 Calories Looks Like in Various Foods.

Question

These days we all seem to be counting our calories, but it’s sometimes **** to visualize exactly how many calories we are consuming. Not anymore!

This cool visual list of 37 various foods compares what 200 calories actually look like in different foods. You’d think that even with Summer coming up, a handful of gummy bears couldn’t hurt much. Well, as it turns out just 1.8 ounces (51 grams) of those delicious little guys gives you the same amount of calories as nearly 21 ounces (600 grams) of broccoli or 3 whole eggs would.

Check out the pictures below:

1) Apples

2) Jack in the Box Cheeseburger

3) Canned Black Beans

4) Werther’s Originals Candy

5) Jack in the Box Chicken Sandwich

6) Broccoli

7) Glazed Doughnut

8) French Sandwich Roll

9) Avacado

10) Corn

11) Baby Carrots

12) Canned Peas

13) Canned Pork and Beans

14) Celery

15) Coca Cola

16) Doritos

17) Dried Apricots

18) Jack in the Box French Fries

Answer 1

At least the list wasn't COMPLETELY stereotypical. Anyway, then you'd have to actually eat that crap. Know how I like my raw broccoli? Dripping with ranch dressing. 1430 calories... It's fuel, people. You just need to figure out how much fuel your body requires and the amount of energy you burn for different activities. Not the same for everyone.

Answer 2

Indeed ... thanks for sharing this ...
(I'm not into sweets for the most part .. and do enjoy fresh veggies )
I happen to make my own veggie dip (that is far healthier overall .. fresh ingredients in the dip too)

Answer 3

So candy in moderation.

Answer 4

That made me hungry for chips and dip. Munching right now.

Answer 5

I was surprised about the calories in the bacon because it looked like a nice sized portion. Guess it's the fat that does you in for that one :) . . . I need to eat more celery!

Answer 6

WRAPPED IN BACON!!!

Answer 7

LOL! The celery would ruin the bacon!

Answer 8

ANYTHING WRAPPED IN BACON IS BETTER...CELERY MIGHT BE A CHALLENGE....WAIT, PEANUT ****** STUFFED CELERY...WRAPPED IN BACON!!!

Answer 9

:-)

Answer 10

Thanks for this post. It's very interesting. Some of these things are good to know for a man like me who has to be careful about weight gain. But now I'm kinda hungry. Excuse me while I get 5 apple slices, one Werther candie, ten baby carrots, 12 packets of Splenda, one stalk of Broccoli, four stalks of celery, four grapes, six mini peppers, one third slice of melon, a fourth of a wiener, one slice of Turkey and an egg. I'll wash it all down with a hot cup of Folgers coffee sweetened with two of the packets of sweetener and a tsp of milk.
'Burp'...That was good. Now I'll have a screwdriver to reward myself for gagging down those 2oo ( + or _ ) calories. (A screwdriver is Vodka and orange juice-about 183 calories) Yummy!... :)

Answer 11

That is what I do and limit my carb input. I have a spread sheet that has my glucose levels and what I have eaten and total carbs. This way I keep track and don't go over my 13 carbs per day.

Answer 12

I'll take the two beers. ;)

Answer 13

What you should be concerned with the carb count. They raise the blood surger. Veggies are always good. Fruit causes the blood surger to spike.

Answer 14

Answer 15

Now I'm hungry. Can't remember the last time I had only 200 calories of anything.

Answer 16

I'm a very conscientious eater most of the time I opt for healthy low calorie foods. That allows for the occasional deserts and a fried item or too. It's all about balance.

Answer 17

Answer 18

Like your post. If ** had a food category, this is the sort of posts we could share.

Answer 19

Very cool.....except for the beer and gummy bears.... :-0

Answer 20

Calories are not as important as what they are from i.e. fat.
What's more important to look for is low fat content and low carbs. 200 calories of fat are not the same as 200 calories from carbs.

Answer 21

The best advice is to stop counting calories and count carbs. I've lost 31 pounds since November by limiting my carbs.

Answer 22

Except for the fruit,and veggies, that is pretty dismal. :(

Answer 23

Interesting. Thank you.

Answer 24

Mmmmmm... bacon

This was neat - thanks!

Answer 25

Sadly many rather "innocent" looking food elements can contain high amounts of calories, especially ready dishes.

This is only a small part of the many "surprises", on the other hand, also certain "caloric" elements are not that bad and even essential for a healthy diet, at the right doses ...

Answer 26

I try to keep things in balance. I am not much of a candy eater but I do like my 'turtles', those I can never pass up. The ketchup is what is surprising....why do I want to eat that much ketchup? Anyways, thanks for the tip.

Answer 27

Some of those look like they should be higher than 200. Ones like the bacon, fries, and coke, to name a few. Most of the fruits and veggies are fine.

Answer 28

Interesting. So that smoked turkey, avocado, purple onion, mayo sandwich on 12 grain toast was more than 200 calories but well balanced. I ran out of tomatoes.....:-(

Answer 29

Good info

Answer 30

I like looking at the comparisons but for me I judge my intake by Carbohydrate helpings.

Answer 31

As a diabetic I am more concerned with Carbs. Some of those veggies are free food and I don't have to worry about sugar levels. The milk turns to sugar within a half hour after drinking, same with donut, and even the apple has too much sugar so can only have a piece that fits in palm of hand. I would not even think about having the candy. and the ketchup has sugar as well. I can get away with the half hamburger, protein and about a carb and a half. Corn, peas, celery, broccoli, carrots are all good.
I have a carb book that I use, calories is not even the issue, it is quantity of carbs per day that I have to worry about.

Answer 32

It was very interesting how close the glaze doughnut and french sandwich roll were ---that helps with my planning .

Answer 33

not a calorie Counter, but this is good to know!

Answer 34

Counting calories is a waste of time imo. I eat as much as I want and do not worry about calories.

Answer 35

I don't like celery! >:l

Answer 36

3.75 oreos..... no not sleeves of oreos, like how I eat them... 3 and 3 quarters individual cookies......

Answer 37

YOU CAN STOP AT A SLEEVE....GOOD CONTROL!

Answer 38

It is ****!!!! I ate the whole package one time, and then said ... "oops"

Answer 39

UNDERSTAND FULLY (YES, I SAID...FULLY)

Answer 40

Fruits and veggies are better for me than junk food. Ok, got ya. =-)

Answer 41

Wow, thanks for sharing. Very true...
