Easter is nearly here and that can only mean one thing - it's almost time to shamelessly eat a LOT of chocolate.
While most of us purposely choose not to think about calories at all, it might be worth a quick check as some of those eggs are a lot worse than others.
There are also some delicious chocolaty treats which are much better when it comes to calories.
Diet expert Terri-Ann Nunns, founder of Terri-Ann’s Diet Plans , has looked through some of the most popular Easter eggs to see which have the most calories.
Some of the worst offenders have more then 2,900 calories.
She said: "The biggest problem with Easter eggs is that we never tend to get just the one - we often end up with multiple eggs and get carried away indulging in all of them.
"I would recommend resisting the temptation to crack the whole egg and eat it all in one go. Instead, try to save it to enjoy as a treat as part of a healthy balanced diet.
"We’re also tricked into thinking that because it's Easter, we must eat all these Easter specific treats now while they are in the stores – but of course this isn't the case. We can get mini eggs and other goodies all year round. Don’t be fooled and sucked in by the Easter seasonal treats that are on sale too early.
"Of course, life is too short to go without a treat now and then, so here's how you can still enjoy the popular Easter tradition by making some swaps and choosing alternative sweet treats with lower calories."
