cool thanks for the link

That's interesting. Mango juice is so thick and sweet - I thought that would be more than apple juice.

that cheese looks like there is waaaaaay more than 120 calories

I totally agree about the cheese. I also have a hard time believing that one slice of pizza, even a small thin one like in the picture and a jelly donut are only 120 calories.

Aren't a lot of really high fat foods (like cheese) pretty low in calories and it's their calorie to fat ratio that makes them so unhealthy?

[Fuhzy]

Not usually because fat is 9kcals/gram while protein and carbs are 4kcals/gram. So a high fat food is also going to be high calorie!

I'm pretty confident the pics shown are accurate, there's no reason for them to be wrong

The exception is if it also contains a large amount of water. The reason why dairy cheese, which is not really a food, is not particularly high in calories is that it is about 40% water.

Any source that says "calories" with a small "c" when referring to a specific number of food Calories (kilocalories) is questionable. The cheese in the picture definitely looks like more than 30 grams.

A minor error, I would say that the NHS was a very reliable source of information. It probably only looks more than 30g because it's stacked up, it doesn't look more than 30g to me btw.
