Nat sound: You could have this many delicious, chewy, gummy bears...

This is 2-hundred calories...

Nat sound: But so is this...

Nat sound: that much of a Snickers...

And all of these...

Andrea Hill/Nutrition consultant: I think people think more about what satisfies them rather than how many calories are in things.

These bags have 2-hundred calories of gummy bears, potato chips, or carrots. We asked people to guess the amount of calories in each one.

Nat sound: maybe 100 in the carrots.

Nat sound: Let's go with 150... 150? Gumyy bears, huh, okay...

Nat sound: I don't know - like 800 in there...

When we told them they were all the same...

Nat sound: oh my gosh! Really!

Nat sound: ahhh, haha...

Andrea Hill: It's not that there are good or bad 200 calorie foods, but there can often be a better choice.

Hill says it's not just about the calories.

Andrea Hill: When you make wise choices, sometimes you are going to be able to have more food. It will be more filling and when you make those choices, you'll be getting more fiber and hopefully, more nutrients.

Jennifer Blomquist/Reporting: One of the worst culprits - the vending machine - especially when you're at work and short on time. Those may look like small and innocent enough snacks - but think twice - they probably have a lot more calories than you thought.
