What 2000 calories look like

The generally accepted value for how many calories we should consume per day is 2000. But have you ever wondered what that is? How many bagels can you eat before hitting that limit?

 

BuzzFeed created this video that shows showing exactly that. I find it quite interesting. I expected I would have to eat more carrots than that to get to 2000 calories. At the same time, I would expect that just a few strips of bacon would be enough to hit that amount.

But watch the video. And also take a look at the article that inspired it, What Does 200 Calories Look Like?, which is probably even more interesting.
