Ever though about what does 200 Calories look like?

I came across wisegeek.com when I was looking up for some answer on food and health. Like what is the minimum amount of [tag-ice]calories[/tag-ice] you must maintain in your body? I have been reading through alot of articles and answers on wisegeek.com under health topic.

While browsing I read quiet a few articles that have been published. Some of the questions on wisegeek.com are common, some are self-selected and quite eclectic. For instance, what is a Space Pier? what is a folksonomy? or what is a hypertelescope?

Moreover did you know that some foods have significantly more calories than others? I wondered, what does the difference actually look like? Wisegeek.com has different pictures on it.

And each of the photographs represents 200 [tag-tec]calories [/tag-tec] of the particular type of food; the images are sorted from low to high calorie density. When you consider that an entire plate of broccoli contains the same number of calories as a small spoonful of peanut butter, you might think twice the next time you decide what to eat.

Interestingly, did you know they have even table hockey on real ice! This game is just like air hockey, except they use real ice as the base instead of air. It looks amazing, and it seems quite easy to make. if it ever dips below freezing where you are, this might be a great project.
