This is quite an interesting page:  pictures of many foods sorted by weight per 200g.  It’s pretty shocking.  I guess the first healthy/low-calorie food I could enjoy eating a decent portion of would be melon. There are few desserts purer than chilled Japanese rockmelon.

I have no idea how a french roll has more calories per gram than a disgusting jack-in-the-box hamburger, though, for instance.

Don’t look at the bottom of the page, as you’ll see the insanely tiny quantities of bacon, peanut butter, and butter that comprise 200calories.  I routinely use a half cup of butter (115g) in recipes.  ahahahah doh!

Also, for the american readers out there, 40g is very little.  I prepare my brewed black coffee as 20oz of water (a small thermos’ worth) with exactly 42g of ground coffee.  Coffee beans are light, even then apile of 42g of coffee beans is a very small cereal bowl worth.

  1. I can see my daily intake of gummy bears, jelly beans and fruit loops meets my nutritional index for old broads!!!
    Bon Appetit wheat grass boy:)!!!

  2. Now you must explore the cooking light way of life. The sad fact of life is that if it is fat free it really doesn’t taste so good. Your exercise comments were interesting. I prefer having to go to a class or something like that. If I paid the cash I am more inclined to participate. Right now I am just trying to heal my back so I can get started again. And life goes on……
