The Morbid Me linked to a UK site with a photo gallery of foods totalling 120 calories. 120 calories is about 500 kJ – which is a snack portion. I find these pictorial guides quite useful as they give a clear idea of portion sizes and also how energy expensive junk foods are. A while ago Diet-Blog had a similar post on 300 calorie meals and you might also be interested in my guide to five serves of vegetables.
