A huge part about getting into shape (and staying there) is your diet. What can be frustrating about it is trying to gauge how many calories you actually consume in a day. It can be shocking what foods contain high or low concentrations of calories if you never paid attention to that kind of thing before. Four prunes has the same amount of calories as an entire plate of asparagus, for example. Speaking of examples, we come to today's post topic.

Spark People has created a few pictures that can help you think more about what you're eating. They have a series of images depicting different kinds of foods, all amounting to 100 calories. Some of them are quite shocking in the difference in amount.
All this said, the amount of calories you eat is not the only factor that affects your health. Proper nutrition, exercise, water, sleep, and mental well being all are factors in staying in good shape. Genetics are all well and good when you're younger, but there are studies that show that genetic history only affects your younger life, aside from hereditary conditions. The lifestyle choices you make have a much greater impact on how long and how well you can live.
Toodles!
