200 Calories, an illustrated guide

I came across this interesting page with several pictures of what 200 calories can look like. It's surprisingly a lot. The few times I've been on a treadmill with a calorie counter, I've been surprised how much work it takes to get these calories off. I was also surprised by how much this can be during Weight Watchers, when an entire meal rarely went much above 500. I used to think 3,000 calories a day was the norm, but 2,000 is now my mental goal. Considering that the Hardee's Thickburger has over 1,000 (with almost 100 grams of fat), it's an easy goal to achieve.
