300 Calorie Food Picture GalleryWhy 300 Calorie? Originally the idea was to count how many calorie I spend working for two hours on the PC (between the obligatory breaks I make) and bicycling on a stationary bike for half an hour (my favorite indoor sports activity). With the help of this tool I found out that both activities require approximately 300 Calorie. But what do I have to eat to get these Calorie? Using another tool, I calculated weights of the food I usually eat so that they equal 300 Calorie. It turned out that 300 Calorie is more than 2 pounds of watermelon or just 2 ounces of milk chocolate. Eventually, I decided to make photographs of what these 300 Calorie look like in different foods. The process of making pictures took several weeks, and only after I made about half of the pictures, I found out that similar idea has already been realized. But still, I decided to continue, because the foods I was photographing were not the same as in the other projects. And to help you estimate the portion size, I added some well known items to each picture. Also, I included approximate price of each portion based on the price of the product taken from SafeWay.com Fruits  Apples  Banana  Grapefruit  Grapes  Kiwi  Avocado  Oranges  Peaches  Pears  Pineapple  Prunes  Raisins  Watermelon Vegetables  Broccoli  Baked Potato  Brussels Sprouts  Carrots  Cauliflower  Corn, Sweet Yellow, Canned  French Fries  Garlic  Green Peas, Canned  Potato Chips  Red Peppers  Olives, Canned  Tomatoes Meat, Poultry  Bacon  Beefsteak  Chicken Breast Fillet Stewed  Chicken Thigh, Roasted  Chicken Wing, Roasted  Ham, Cured, Lean, Unheated  Berliner Sausage, Pork  Pork Chop, Roasted, Boneless  Beef, Roasted  Salami, Pork  Turkey Breast Meat, Roasted  Turkey, Smoked Fish, Sea Food  Cod Liver  Cod, Cooked, Dry Heat  Mackerel, Cooked, Dry Heat  Perch, Cooked, Dry Heat  Red Caviar  Salmon, Cooked, Dry Heat  Shrimp  Salmon, Smoked  Tuna, Canned in Water Sweets, Pastry  Apple Pie  White Bread  Brown Sugar  Bahlsen Hit Cocoa Cookie  Crackers, Salted  Dark Chocolate  Gummy Bears  Honey  Ice Cream  Jaffa Cakes  Milk Chocolate  Pancake  Pretzels  Snickers Bar  Spaghetti, Cooked Bran, Cereal, Nuts  Almonds  Wheat Bran  Corn Bran Cereal  Chocolate Corn Cereal  Hazelnuts  Multi Grain Cereal  Peanuts  Walnuts  Wheat Cereal  White Rice, Cooked  Granola Dairy, Eggs, Oils  Cheese Gouda  Cottage Cheese  Egg Omelet  Olive Oil Ketchup, Mayonnaise  Ketchup  Mayonnaise Instant Drinks  Hot Cocoa Mix  Instant Coffee Alcohol  Irish Cream Liqueur  Whiskey  Beer  Red Wine |
