Some foods have significantly more Calories than others but what does the difference actually look like.
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. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the average adult needs to consume about 2000 - 2500 Calories to maintain their weight. In other words, you have a fixed amount of Calories to "spend" each day; based on the information bellow, which would you eat?

There was actually a diet (not too long ago) called the 'Picture Perfect Diet' by Dr. Howard Shapiro, in which foods were pictured and then compared using the same number of calories.
I remember reading the book and seeing a plate filled with fresh cut fruit adding up to very few calories compared to say, a cheese danish. The book was mainly visual, lots and lots of glossy pictures. I can see that there was a cookbook produced for it, too, although I have never looked at that.
