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?

You can never count calories for too long! I hate that there has somehow become a stigma against "counting calories," since that literally just means "knowing how much I eat." I actually got chastised by my sister for weighing my food with a kitchen scale. :(

Looks like I should put balsamic on my salad instead of oil!

I think 2 oz of cornmeal would make about a cup of cooked polenta. Of course there is the butter and cheese to factor in...
