Yesterday wa officially dubbed "Fat Wednesday" in the UK.
Nutrition experts said that Wed 02 Apr falls in the middle of a four week gap between people giving up New Year diets and starting new ones to get in shape for the northern summer.
An added factor is the early Easter break this year, which means most people still have chocolate in their homes.
The Sun newspaper said the average Briton consumed about 4000 calories yesterday - almost double the amount officially recommended by dietiticians.
