Can you spot the healthier option?
Millions of Brits are still completely unaware of calories in everyday foods, according to a survey by the World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF).
The poll found that the use of terms like 'light' or 'reduced fat' is confusing consumers.
The international cancer charity said we need to have a better understanding of which foods are high in calories because obesity is a key factor in causing a range of diseases from cancer and heart disease to diabetes.

Flap jack is likely to contain more sugar, more than double the calories and four times more fat of a similar sized serving of iced cake.

Burger King XL Double Whopper or a Burger King Double Cheese Burger with Bacon?
These two very similar meals have very different nutritional contents. The XL Double Whopper has 71% more calories and 90% more fat than the Double Cheese burger.
Deep pan pepperoni pizza or a thin crust pepperoni pizza?
Despite being similar in calories the thin crust pizza has approximately 7 grams more fat. This is probably because thick crust pizzas have a smaller surface area to absorb fat.
Avocado and crabstick salad or Goat's cheese salad?
Cheese may be high in calories but a Goat's cheese salad may only contain small quantities. While an avocado is a good source of protein it's also high in fat and processed crabsticks are equivalent to a mixture of bread, sugar and fat which is not so healthy after all.
