The fine folks at wiseGEEK put together a fascinating list of 71 food items and how much of each equals 200 calories. All foods were shot using the same dinner plate, which measures 10.25 inches (26 cm) in diameter; and the same bowl (if necessary), with a diameter of 6.25 inches (16cm).
This list should not be viewed as guide for what to eat to reach your recommended daily caloric intake as other nutritional values like fat, sodium, cholesterol, protein and carbohydrates are all important considerations when determining your diet.
It’s more of an interesting visual exercise than anything. Be sure to check out the entire list at wiseGEEK for more.
