200 Calories

(Link to article)


• Which food do you think has the most calories? How did you come to this conclusion?

I already thought that McDonald’s food (or any fast food really) has the most calories, and it looks like I was close. I am a pretty sure gummy bears and jellybeans are worse, but a burger isn't far behind. I thought that McDonalds had a lot of calories because I’ve seen the nutrition information and also fast food tends to be that way, because of all the oils and processed grains & meat.

• Which food has the least amount of calories? How did you come to this conclusion?

I thought fruit would have the least, because it is organic and delicious, but it turns out vegetables do— especially celery. It surprised me how much celery you could eat without going over 200 calories.

• Which food surprises you most? Why?

Although the celery was pretty surprising, cheese was the most shocking. I love eating cheese. So seeing that small portion for 200 calories made me a bit sad. I thought cheese wouldn't be that bad since it was a dairy product. Guess I was wrong.
