Fit Fare

A few months ago, on my Weight Loss Surgery blog, I posted images of items weighing 100 pounds, to celebrate when I hit that weight loss benchmark, but still felt fat (which I am — it’s just as hard for me to grasp that I was *more* than 100 lbs overweight, as it is for others).  It helped for me to see how 100 pounds translateed into identifiable objects, so that I could better appreciate the significant milestone.

In that vein, the crew at WiseGeek.com have assembled an entire page of images representing 200 calorie portions of various foods and beverages.

The cheese surprised me. I’m a big cheese eater and I know it’s very easy to rack up the calories with that good protein but high fat food.  Still, you can see how little hard cheese there is a 200 calorie portion.
