The conductors of the study portioned 71 food items into 200-calorie-sized samples. The edibles included healthy options such as fruit, vegetables and almonds, as well as more indulgent choices, such as soda and donuts. Some foods have a higher calorie-to-size ratio than others. For instance, you can only enjoy 86% of a glazed donut if you wanted to stay within the 200 mark. However, you could ingest 24 slices of smoked turkey or a plate full of broccoli for the same calorie intake. The study makes an abstract concept -- the elusive [calorie system](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mycaloriebalance) -- easy to visualize.
