MR PORKY CRACKLES Pack size 70g Number of recommended servings 3 Calories per serving 143 Calories per pack 429

The same size as a bag of crisps, this triple-cooked pork crackling doesn’t seem that unhealthy at just 143 calories per serving and just 3.8g of saturated fat. But Mr Porky claims that the pack contains three servings, so total calories shoot up to 429 calories and 11.4g of saturated fat for the lot.

INNOCENT ORANGE JUICE WITH BITS Pack size 330ml Number of recommended servings 2.2 Calories per serving 59 Calories per pack 129

Watch for portion sizes when it comes to fruit juice. We shouldn’t be drinking more than 150ml of fruit juice a day due to the high sugar content, yet this small bottle contains over two servings and a total of 26.4g of sugar. FLATBREAD THIN BITES, CHEDDAR AND BLACK PEPPER Pack size 50g Number of recommended servings 20 Calories per serving 13 Calories per pack 260

The Aldi pack reads: “What a treat – just 13 calories per serving”. But this is per crisp, not the full bag, which contains 260 calories. CHICAGO TOWN STUFFED CRUST STICKY SWEET COLA BBQ STUFFED CRUST Pack size 650g Number of recommended servings 4 Calories per serving 426 Calories per pack 1704

Before chomping down on the whole thing, you might want to examine the small print, as the label gives details for a quarter of the pizza.

Eating it all would exceed a woman’s daily calorie intake.

TWIX Pack size 50g Number of recommended servings 2 Calories per serving 123 Calories per pack 246

Displayed on the front of the gold packaging is a box stating 123 calories.

Only if you bother to turn over to read the small print will you realise that is for just one finger, as manufacturer Mars claims there are two portions in each pack. THE FOODIE MARKET TROPICAL BLEND Pack size 70g Number of recommended servings 3 Calories per serving 83 Calories per pack 249

Another rather small portion size from Aldi.

A snack pot is designed to be eaten on the go, so why not print calorie content for the whole packet? TRAGIC Saffie Roussos
