What 200 Calories Look Like.

Sorry if this has been done already.

Thought this was really interesting. This article tries to put a positive spin on it but I just look at the stuff at the bottom of the list (in other words the nice food) and think how little of that you can eat.

i was surprised about the coke

[EvianBaby]

Yeah I was too. Expected it would be more calories.

Oh please don't Evian...I started a diet yesterday and it's killing me already ! I think the lack of carbs and sugar is making me really irritable as well (is that possible?)

How long does it take to burn 200 off, when you think like that you will never enjoy food!!

[EvianBaby]

I feel your pain Mazie!

Blimey EvianBaby, I knew a few and the others kind of surprised me . I have changed some of my eating habits, looks like I could change a few more !

[Smowball]

If we knew the calories in everything we would never eat! lol.

I'm just sad that when I first saw the plate of carrots I thought it was a plate of wotsits.

I know the calories of most things I eat because I look them up to ensure I'm likely to lose not gain weight. None of it is that surprising. if you like it, you have to ration it, is the normal rule.

Not many would have the will power to control or ration the amount of what they eat if they like and enjoy it.

For me the best way to have control is by not having any at all. I always have to finish the 1/2 gallon container of ice cream otherwise I cannot stop thinking about it.

Oh dear

After seeing how small the block of cheese is I dread to think how bad my cheese on toast is : (

It's good to know a whole honeydew is only 400 calories.
