Visualize Your Food with Foodsel
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to our RSS feed or sign up for email updates. Thanks for visiting!
This is kind of a neat idea: Foodsel is a food database, similar to ours, with added visualisations of calories, sugar and fat. For example, a large serving of McDonald’s French fries has the fat equivalent to 0.4 sticks of butter!
The website also shows you how much exercise you need to do to burn off those french fries (over two hours running for me, no thanks I’d rather skip the fries!).
This visualisations are a neat idea, which can certainly provide an interesting perspective on foods we eat. However, the butter analogy can be somewhat misleading for fatty foods that are actually good for you, like olive oil and avocado.
