A little overindulgence on Easter Sunday is often unavoidable, but you could be devouring more calories than you realise depending on the sweet treat you opt for.
Eye-opening research by British luxury wine and food hamper retailer Virginia Hayward has revealed the most calorific chocolate eggs on the shelves, with one containing nearly 3,000 calories.
A man s recommended daily intake is 2,500 calories, while a woman s is 2,000 and a child s varies between 1,600 to 2,000 depending on gender or age.
This means, if Britons ignore the suggested servings and consume a whole Easter egg in one sitting, they could easily eat more than a day s worth of calories.
