What 100 calories in portions of healthy and healthy food look like

There is something inexplicably satisfying about the simple mathematics that distinguishes order from chaos. And the Food Network photo project is a great example — in 23 photos taken on a well-lit marble countertop, 100-calorie portions of various healthy food products are presented.

If you're counting calories, images can help you track your daily intake. If not, then these pictures are an aesthetic nod to the huge variety of any healthy diet, covering an indescribable range of colors, textures and tastes.
