Give up?
All have 140 calories (well, actually the grapes have more like a 150 calories, but work with me).
If you ever need to do an exercise like this I suggest you do it. It's very helpful.
I decided to work with 140 calorie snack. I wanted to know what they looked like, and which one would make me satisfied. The choice is obvious: the grapes! Holy crap. That's a lot of grapes! I have a hard time getting down a cup of grapes.
I packed tomorrow's lunch. Among other things, I'm having 2 oz of carrots, which equal 24 calories. 1 cup of carrots would be 94 calories. One would have to eat 12 ounces of carrots to consume 140 calories. That's a lot of carrots!
I feel happy when I plan and organize ahead. I hope I can continue to plan and organize.
Not sure what else to say.
Have a great day tomorrow!

I love seeing this - it blows my mind sometimes. I love grapes, so that would be my choice too! :)
ReplyDeleteI love little exercises like this that are visual. They work so well to put you in the right mind set.
