Why New Year’s Resolutions Never Work: What 200 Calories Really Looks Like

Before you take a bite out of that Jack in the Box cheeseburger (above), consider this: About half of that burger carries the same amount of calories, 200 to be specific, that a tasty plate of kiwis or a few hearty slices of honeydew melon carry.

Thanks to wiseGeek, we can now visualize this comparison through a series of simple photographs depicting what 200 calories actually look like. While this is all very informative, the reality is that bacon is much tastier than a seemingly endless amount of celery, which is why we’d pick 200 calories worth of bacon 100% of the time, all the time.
