Research by Discount Supplements, an online retailer of health and fitness products, found that the average Christmas dinner of turkey, roast potatoes, pigs in blankets, gravy and assorted veg contains 1,992 calories.
That is just eight calories less than the average recommended daily calorie intake for women and just 508 calories less than men are recommended to scoff in an entire day.
The study found that Brits as a whole – a total of 52m adults – will pile on a massive 20 million stone, that’s just over 5lb each, between December 25 and January 1 as they tuck into treats, sweets and booze.
That’s the equivalent of just under 10,000 double decker buses.
The research also found that to burn off the average Christmas dinner, Brits need to run 18 miles without stopping.
Jon Hawkins, a personal trainer at Discount Supplements, said: “People need to realise that they risk their health and well-being.
“Too much alcohol, fatty foods and not enough exercise, especially for those working office jobs can lead to long term health issues.“
He added: “Over Christmas, both our eating habits and our attitudes towards food tend to change.
“Many of us use the excuse that because Christmas is a time to kick back, we’re given the green light to over indulge on food and drink.”
