Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
The CNN website has a really interesting application that is designed to help make us more aware of what we're eating. Granted, after staring at labels, numbers and other data all day (as I have been known to do when writing some pieces) has given me a good idea of what I'm eating most of the time, but seeing the hard numbers is much more of a wake-up call than approximating them - and I was more surprised than I would have thought.
Using the program, you can click and drag sample foods for each meal onto your plate and get an idea of what you're currently eating - as well as what you might want to cut back on. A stack of three pancakes with butter and maple syrup? 665 calories. Chicken, mashed potatoes, gravy and a buttered roll? 425 calories, plus another 120 for soda or wine.
