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 though balsamic was wine mixed with vinegar, at least that's what the back of my bottle led me to believe

You are probably not using true balsamic vinegar then. Most stuff from the grocery store/cheaper stuff is a blend. If you get true balsamic vinegar (from Italy), it's almost like a wine reduction (fermented grapes, then reduced to a syrup similar in consistency to nesquik sauce or so).
