See what 200 calories looks like in 29 different foods

We all know how many calories are in a gooey slice of fudge-dribbled cake compared to, say, a pile of carrots or something. But the more subtle caloric differences are sometimes tough to judge. How many calories, for example, are in something seemingly healthy like nuts, when you line it up next to fruits or vegetables? Or what happens to your serving size when you start throwing in pastries and fast food? This collection of photos offers health-conscious eaters a glimpse at exactly what 200 calories looks like in numerous different foods. There's no gooey cake (we're guessing it would take up about one hundredth of the photo screen) but the heaping celery plate next to the butter (less heaping) is a compelling argument for the dietary adage, "size matters."
