    100 calories-what it looks like

    Excerpt below from an article on what 100 calories for certain types of food like:
    http://www.theglobeandmail.com/life/...rticle1358500/

    Protein foods
    Lean meat, chicken 2 ounces (60 g)
    Fish, salmon 2 ounces (60 g)
    Fish, tuna 3 ounces (90 g)
    Eggs 1 large
    Cheese, part skim 1 ounce (30 g)
    Cottage cheese, 1% ½ cup (125 ml)
    Chickpeas, cooked 1/3 cup (75 ml)

    Milk and milk alternatives
    Milk, skim or 1% 1 cup (250 ml)
    Yogurt, 1% MF 1 cup (250 ml)
    Soymilk, plain, enriched 1 cup (250 ml)

    Starchy foods
    Cereal, e.g. Bran Flakes, Cheerios 1 cup (250 ml)
    Cereal, 100% Bran ½ cup (125 ml)
    Oatmeal, cooked ¾ cup (175 ml)
    Pasta, cooked ½ cup (125 ml)
    Popcorn, air popped 3 cups (750 ml)
    Rice, cooked ½ cup (125 ml)
    Whole grain bread 1 slice

    Fruits
    Apple, pear 1 medium
    Apricots 3 whole
    Banana 1 medium
    Blueberries, strawberries 1 cup (250 ml)
    Dates 5
    Fruit juice, unsweetened ¾ to 1 cup (175 – 250 ml)
    Prunes dried 5
    Raisins ¼ cup (50 ml)
    Orange 1 large

    Fats and oils
    Almonds, unsalted 14 whole
    Avocado ¼
    Peanut butter 1 tbsp. (15 ml)
    Sunflower seeds 2 tablespoons (25 ml)
    Vegetable oil 2 teaspoons (10 ml)

    If you read the whole article in link, range is from 90 to 110 calories. However I've always thought a medium-sized banana was abit more than 110 calories. Anyway, this list can be helpful for the munchies.
