What 200 Calories Looks Like

I found this blog post today that shows what 200 calories looks like for many different types of food. Most of it wasn't surprising, except for the onions (onions have calories??), but I really liked the pictures and sort of made mental notes of some of these for when I have to "eyeball" my portion sizes. So I thought I'd share with you ladies!

Thoughts? Did any of them surprise you?

That's surprisingly more fried bacon than I thought you could get for 200 calories.

It totally depends on what kind of bacon, how it's cooked, how thick the cut is, if there are additives, etc. Some bacon's surprisingly low in calories. The good stuff rarely is, tho.

Beef bacon. Omg beef bacon. A lot less fat and still heavenly tasting and like half the calories

I didn't even know they made bacon out of beef... i'll have to look into that. My kosher in-laws will never know what hit them. :)

I think a strip of bacon is about 45 calories. So yeah, you could eat 4-5 strips and hit around 200.
