What 2,000 Calories Looks Like | Tech Insider

The FDA recommends that we eat a balanced diet of 2,000 calories a day. Some days we do a better job passing on the pizza and reaching for a salad, and some days it's digging into a full pint of ice cream sort of day. Here's what 2,000 calories of various food items look like.

that whopper looked more depressed than me

[Bingus]

66.5 carrots a day is the limit-

*I must ascend with my eyesight now*

[slowkole]

The virgin 3 whoppers vs THE CHAD 70 CARROTS

[travstravinho]

At some point in college I would be so lazy and tired of everything I’d go to the grocery store, buy a single carrot and have that for dinner. And that’s how I lost 20 pounds in a single month.

[MissCuteAndLovely]

It's your choice.. 18 reeses or 18 bananas a day
No question for me dude

[alicemanera]

In Italy, a big pizza with tomato and mozzarella is just 700 or 800 kcal

[dadanzinv]

I understand why I am gaining weight, because I literally look at all of this food and think, that's nothing I could eat all of that right now. I need to learn to slow down and eat mindfully. I am definitely blowing past my fullness signals and I never used to do that. Great vid, thank you.

[meLEMuel]

I dont need this kind of negativity today.

[Anant]

Conclusion: eat as much carrots you physically can and you'll start loosing weight

[iperez]

I like how accurately they portray what a large fry entails.

[T-heon]

Its been 4 years since i watched some of your "how much ____ calories looks like" videos, and I'd just like to say thank you.
I realized how much foods I've been eating had so many calories that I didnt even know of, since this video ive lost 70 pounds, I begun working out and dieting. Thank you.

[myne]

I knew my diet of 14 cokes a day was good for me

[AdityaGupta-grmz]

I got it,
all of us just need to eat whopper in breakfast lunch and dinner
That's perfect

[nogas]

Love these vids! Educational and fun to watch

[crispinmelons]

If you're looking at efficiency, the pizza is hella efficient, so i will try eat only pizza, till i die. Thank you for this idea and the encouragement, I've been thinking about this for a long time, and this vid is really the prime motivation; I'm utterly convinced

[grayskindablue]

This was an odd assortment of “favorite foods” but sure.

[ieatdeadrats]

Those whoppers look like they have been sat on by a 300 pound person.

[mimimi]

This was really helpful pls make more of these

[connorkiel_golf]

When you’re an active 15 year old boy I think I can go over this limit by like 400- 800 calories

[mario]

I don't count calories I count happiness lol a whopper a day keeps the carrots away
