A new calorie counting app has hit the scene, and it's set to make your (dieting) life a whole lot more visual.

Instead of tracking your daily calorie intake, which can be more than tedious, the Calorific app simply shows you what 200 calories worth of food looks like along with the weight of the portion.

There are probably several portion sizes that will surprise you: a whole mango is more than 200 calories, and so is that iced doughnut.

However, it's not all bad. You can eat (according to the app) one whole head of cauliflower or half an avocado without going over 200 calories.
