“What 200 calories looks like in various foods.” {Photos}
First, let us all acknowledge “that calories are not the sole measure for the health value of food.” Nutritional benefit in milk, for example, well exceeds that of Coke.
Just about every one of the below blows my mind and doesn’t surprise me, much, simulataneously.
Except for the small pile of Doritos. Those just blew my mind:
Also, here’s what you can do with broccoli. It’s delicious.
Incorrect source, offensive, or found a typo? Or do you want to write for Elephant?
How is it possible that a small piece of baguette bread can have as many calories as half a Jack-in-the-Box burger and also as many as nearly a whole donut? That doesn't make sense to me… ?
Again, why? It is what it is.
because the bread is created with super refined bleached flour , super refined white sugar, yeast and vegetable oil. refined bleached flour has no nutritional value, same with the sugar. vegetable oil needs to be eaten in small amounts.
aren't most burger buns from chains made with the same (crappy) ingredients? I must admit to being puzzled by this also…
I make that broccoli ALL THE TIME. I can vouch for its awesomeness! It's like broccoli candy!
Yahoo on the broccoli, carrots, celery, kiwi and grapes!
A plateful of Splenda? Chemical sweetener with neuro-toxic effects…..MMMMMMM. What some people will do to avoid a few calories of sugar?
Absurd. Who published this? A plate of celery has the same caloric content as half of a cheeseburger? Obviously, this hardly factual.
Why is it absurd? It's true. I've measured it for myself. I don't get why it's hard to believe; half a cheeseburger contains a lot of saturated fat so therefore high in calories. Celery contains no fat therefore much much lower in calories.
They are not telling you that one is higher in calories than the other….they are telling you that both have the same 200 calories….that's why it makes no sense.
[...] days, it helps for me to look at something like this: http://www.elephantjournal.com/2013/…-foods-photos/ Sheila, I just bought and downloaded the Brain Over Binge book to my Kindle and started reading. I [...]
half an onion can have as many calories as an egg? who knew?!
Pretty stupid guide….Yes how can celery which is mostly water and fiber be equal in calories to the high fat half cheeseburger… and the red onion?…..it is not a "mini pepper"
Really? Are you serious….it's a monster plate of celery..a pile…it has calories and they add up if you ate that much. So yes, half a burger would be the same as a massive plate of celery. It's basic math? Just like a tonne of bricks weighs the same as a tonne of feathers. c'mon people!
the guide is off a bit…
one whole avocado is closer to 320 calories
Those are delicious looking grapes.
