What Does 200 Calories Look Like?

I feel eating too much comes from a mental requirement, not a stomach requirement!

Don't you feel that the idea of telling yourself not to overeat makes you really want to overeat (like something sweet after dinner!)? Try changing your approach to telling yourself what you can eat, not what you can't! Check this link of Pictures of 200 Calories of Various Foods. I like beautiful pictures of food! Don't they look satisfying? Let's eat smart. http://www.wisegeek.com/what-does-200-calories-look-like.htm

Healthy snack recipe

Ants on a log — Spread peanut butter on celery sticks and top with raisins.

Banana ice — Peel several very ripe bananas, break them into 1-inch pieces, and freeze the pieces in a sealed plastic bag. Just before serving, whirl the pieces in the blender with a small amount of water or juice. Serve right away. Add berries for a different flavor or top with fruit or nuts.

Mini pizzas — Spoon pizza sauce onto half a bagel, English muffin, or mini pita. Top with low-fat mozzarella cheese and your favorite veggies and toast or bake at a low setting until the cheese is melted and the bagel is crispy.

Healthy ice pops — Freeze fresh, unsweetened 100% juice in ice pop molds or ice cube trays.
Low-fat pita and hummus — Warm a pita in the oven on low, then cut it into small triangles. Dip it in a tasty, low-fat hummus. Hummus is available in yummy flavors like garlic and spicy red pepper.

Happy trails mix — Combine 1 cup whole-grain toasted oat cereal with 1/4 cup chopped walnuts and 1/4 cup dried cranberries for a healthy trail mix.
