You can’t beat Christmas dinner.

The turkey and ham, roast potatoes, stuffing and gravy are some foods that everyone looks forward to on December 25.

However, we never actually realised just how many calories go along with our festive meal.

The recommended calorie intake for women is around 2,000 calories… and on Christmas day, you’re going to be going well over.

More than double, in fact.

Because on Christmas day, you will be knocking back 5,373 calories altogether.

It’s not all bad though, as 73 percent of us don’t care how much we eat on Christmas, while 60 percent take the day as our ‘get out of jail free card’.

So, there you have it. Enjoy Christmas day, eat ALL the food and be merry.
