Takeaway equals wine glass of lard

A meal including prawn crackers, crispy duck, chicken balls and spring rolls includes 2,823 calories and 132.5 grams of fat — the equivalent to a small wine glass, research for weight loss product Lipobind found. The average takeaway overall includes 1,500 calories.

The Food Standards Agency in Britain lists a “high” fat content as more than 20g per 100g, while women are advised to limit their calorie intake to 2,000 a day and men to 2,500.
