The WiseGEEK website, which aims to answer the most diverse questions, showed a gallery with several pictures of portions of food containing 200 calories. Some photos even impress by the amount you can consume of a vegetable, such as a plate full of broccoli and when it comes to processed food, the comparison drops to 1 copy, or even less than that.
The idea is not just to inform, but to make people rethink what they are ingesting, as according to the US Department of Agriculture, 2000/2500 calories a day are needed to maintain weight healthy and consistent with daily activities. . From the images, it is noted that 200 calories can mean much more than a meal, or a small part of it.
The photos are all in the same proportion, were taken with the same camera and at the same distance from the table, so the comparison between the food and its portions is more realistic. The site has chosen to showcase known products that clearly provide calorie information and often incorporate other foods such as wheat flour. The proposal for 200 calories is that 100 calories would make the quantities of some foods derisive, and therefore would not appear right in the photos, compromising the comparatives, and for the opposite reason, 500 calories would make the same broccoli dish much larger, and would also compromise the proposal.
