There's nothing like munching on a chocolate bar, but sadly we can't eat them every day.<\/p>\n

They're a tasty treat, and they sure go down nicely when you indulge. The only thing is they are super calorific.<\/p>\n

In fact, a recent study revealed one bar contains more calories than a McDonald's burger.<\/p>\n

MailOnline examined the nutritional content of almost 100 different varieties of chocolate – from Cadbury's to Mars to Nestle. It revealed some delectable bars contain nearly as many as 380 calories.<\/p>\n

To put that into perspective, a cheeseburger at McDonald's is thought to contain around 300 calories. The choccie bars can also have up to 10 teaspoons of sugar in them, which is three times more than an adult's daily recommended intake.<\/p>\n

Health experts have warned people for a long time that it's not good to consume too much sugar, as it can result in weight gain as well as other issues. This is why it's important to eat your treats in moderation.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

According to the study, Twix Xtra White Chocolate Bar came in at the most calorific, as it contains 376 calories. Not far behind were the milk chocolate and salted caramel varieties, which were found to have 370 and 368.<\/p>\n

Cadbury's Double Decker Duo contained 342 calories, while Yorkie Raisin and Biscuit Duo contained 336. Meanwhile, the Cadbury Wispa Gold Chocolate Duo was also quite heavy on calories, having been found to contain 336.<\/p>\n

Others that came out quite high were KitKat Chunky Duo (330), Cadbury's Boost Duo (324), M&S Swiss Blond Chocolate (229) and Maltesers Kingsize (294).<\/p>\n

Women are recommended to consume around 2,000 calories a day to maintain a healthy weight, and 2,500 is thought to be ideal for men. If you take in more calories than you work off, this will obviously result in weight gain.<\/p>\n

Figures obtained by MailOnline found that six in 10 adults and four in 10 children are considered to be overweight or obese.<\/p>\n

Health chiefs recommend people should consume no more than 30g of free sugars (those added to food or drinks) a day. This is because if you consume too much you can pile on the pounds and it can also lead to tooth decay.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Dr Kawther Hashem, campaign lead at Action on Sugar, said: "It will come as no surprise that chocolate bars contain sugars and calories. However 10 teaspoons of sugar per packet, three teaspoons more than an adults daily maximum recommended intake, is unnecessary."<\/p>\n

Back in 2020, former Prime Minister Boris Johnson revealed a "world-leading" obesity plan, which was in some ways inspired by how his weight put him at higher risk of becoming very unwell when he contracted Covid-19. Since then, the Government has moved away from suggestions forwarded by food expert and Leon founder Henry Dimbleby.<\/p>\n

These proposals included taxes on salt and sugar, but it was realised the move would lead to adding around \u00a360 to the average person's annual food bill. Some ideas did make it through though.<\/p>\n

Banning buy one get one free deals on unhealthy snacks and preventing junk food adverts being shown before 9pm are plans still in the works, but they've seen set back until October 2025 by Rishi Sunak.<\/p>\n
