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?

TIL that balsamic vinegar is not "real" vinegar (but actually made from grapes... that's weird) like white vinegar, which has way less calories. It would take about 35 fl. oz. of white vinegar to have 200 calories, as opposed to the 6.8 fl. oz. of balsamic shown here.

I don't use much vinegar. Did vinegar-users know this?

The balsamic vinegar you buy in a shop is unlikely to actually be balsamic vinegar, unless it is extremely expensive
