We previously told how an eye-opening report revealed the most calorific eggs on the shelves, as well as the slightly less sinful choices – so that you can make an informed choice about indulging.
The research was carried out by diet guru Terri-Ann Nunns, who lost seven stone by creating her own weight loss plan which is now followed by more than 50,000 people.
The average person consumes three medium sized eggs each over the Easter period, which can really add up, considering the £12 Cadbury Chopped Nut Easter Egg contains an astonishing 2,977 calories – significantly more than the recommended daily average for women.
Other eggs that make the top of the list include two from Hotel Chocolat – although both are packed full of chocolatey treats, which push their calorie count up.
