Here's a beautiful picture of 200 calories. Yep each of these is just like the other; they each represent 200 calories. Being that I've lost 57 pounds over the last 7-8 months, I never followed the recommended 2000-2500 daily caloric intake. Are you kidding me? I probably would have never lost weight, but others seem to have a different opinion on that.

particular type of food; the images are sorted from low to high calorie density.

number of Calories as a small spoonful of peanut butter, you might think
twice the next time you decide what to eat. According to the U.S.
Department of Agriculture, the average adult needs to consume about 2000
- 2500 Calories to maintain their weight. In other words, you have a
fixed amount of Calories to "spend" each day; based on the following
pictures, which would you eat? - wiseGeek
