Two Hundred Calories

I was reading the Boing Boing blog today and found this post, which links to a wonderful WiseGeek post showing a number of foods of similar (200 calories) caloric content. They range from about 3 lbs. of celery to just past two pats of butter. It helps to drive home the point of the difference in how filling different foods are. They happened to have included two foods I often use to illustrate the difference between two foods which are often thought of as healthy snacks, apples and pretzels. They pictured all the foods on identical plates, so you can see relative size if you click on the pictures. Here are shots of the two foods I often comment on. Note the difference, then visit the post and LEARN!
