Want a 300 calories picture guide?

http://www.healthassist.net/food/300kcal/300. shtml

Not sure it someone has already shared this site with everybody, but I just discovered this site and it has pictures of various kinds of food in quantities amounting up to 300 calories. It's similar to THIS site which does it in 200 calories instead which was mentioned by another member awhile back.

Hope it helps! :D

This makes me want to make my own web site. I like this person's idea, but it would be better if they took a picture of a full meal with those calories.

I make small meals with about 200-300 cals, and I feel like I eat even more than what was shown on those plates....hmmm, new hobby in the future?

Thanks!!! Esp. for sharing both links!

(If you do, grenflowers, please let us see what you create!!!)

you can really see how the calories add up with things like biscuits and crisps.

looks like cottage cheese and ketchup are on the menu tonight, at least i'm getting my portions worth. haha :) thanks for this!

{{{Laughing!}}}

LOTTA' ketchup!!!!!!!!

( The picture of That huge-sized portion caught my attention, too, lol!!! WOW!!! )

Sweet! Thanks joevill! Hmm...looks like someone beat you to the punch with the pictorial meals, grenflowers! ;)

Thanks!!!

Really Clear!!!

Thanks for sharing. It's an interesting view.

I'm curious if anyone else questions the accuracy though. I noticed these immediately:

• Nearly $8 for a head of cauliflower?
• And if a clove of garlic is three calories, I think that plate is missing quite a few heads. By my count, that is 100 aromatic cloves.
• I'm pretty sure you could have at most three (and likely two) dry, small baked potatoes for 300 calories. It depends on the size, but certainly not that many.
  
• That's a lot of steak for the count. Half of that is closer to the 300 mark—if it's incredibly lean.
  

The photos sure curb my appetite too. Some of that food, especially the proteins, looks quite nasty.

sagriffith-I agree..  I noticed the 1 cup of wheat thins.  I thought wheat thins had about 120 calories for 6 or 7 crackers.

I really dont think that is very accurate. There are several pictures that seem to be way off.

Looks to me like he peeled the potatoes. Maybe the skins have more calories? I know that's where most of the nutrients are.
