So what does 2,100 calories look like?
A number on a screen doesn't mean much until you can picture it. Here's one ordinary day that adds up to about 2,100. Nothing fancy, nothing you'd have to order online.

Why we made this
A lot of calorie calculators give you a number and stop there. They don't show you what that number looks like as actual food.
PlateMath HQ tries to fill that gap. Find your number, then use the examples to picture a normal day of eating.
