Excessive: The average Briton consumes 2,300 calories in their Christmas lunch alone - that's 115% of a woman's RDA and 92% for a man. According to research by MSN, for Christmas lunch alone the average Brit feasted on two to three servings, consuming 2,300 calories across one meal. That accounts for 115 per cent of the recommended daily intake for women, and 92 per cent for men - and that's before taking into account the nuts, chocolates and alcohol we consume.
