WiseGEEK conducted a very visual and informative study and presented a photo series, which compares what 200 calories actually look like in different foods. You’d think that even with the bikini season coming up, a handful of gummy bears couldn’t hurt much, right..? Well, it turns out, just 51 gram of those gives you the same amount of calories as nearly 600 grams of broccoli or 3 whole eggs would. And now be honest – which of those amounts sounds more like a proper and filling 200 calorie meals to you?

The study compares 71 different foods and is originally organized going from low to high calorie density. You can tell how the quantities of these 200 calories snacks are getting smaller towards the end of the list! Statistically, an average adult needs 2000-2500 calories a day, but this, of course, differs depending on how physically active you are. So for those who don’t hesitate to sweat in the gym, a spoonful of peanut butter is a lot less of a sin! And if you are wondering how to count calories in the food you eat, this infographic is here to help.
