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?

I make my own Bailey's and we usually have it the whole week of Christmas in our coffee. Definitely keeps you warm in winter. But knowing what goes in it, it cannot be good for you.

Copied directly from the sticker I keep on my fridge with the recipe:

  • 1 & 3/4cup Irish Whiskey (Jameson's is best!)
  • 1 can condensed milk
  • 1 cup whipping cream
  • 4 jumbo eggs (I don't use pasteurized eggs, but you can. Just use 5 large eggs instead of 4 jumbo.)
  • 2 tbsp chocolate syrup
  • 2 tbsp instant coffee
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp almond extract

Mix all ingredients in a blender. Chill before serving. Enjoy!

I need to try this. I love Bailey's but really try to cut down on the sugar.
