So, the Creme Egg Challenge sounds almost impossible to any sane mind. But I have done a bit of research to break down just how ridiculous this challenge is...

  • A Cadbury's creme egg contains 170 calories. The daily recommended calories intake for an adult male is 2000. This means that 60 eggs in 60 minutes is the equivalent of taking in five days worth the the daily recommended calorie intake in just one hour.
  • A Cadbury's creme egg contains 6g of fat. The daily recommended fat intake is 70g. So once again, this challenge will mean eating 5 days worth of fat intake in just one hour.
  • This brave man will be taking in 1680 grammes of carbohydrates in those painful sixty minutes. That is over five and half times the daily recommended intake - yes, in one hour.
  • Hell, this guy will even be exceeding his recommended daily intake of protein in just one hour through simply eating creme eggs! In fact, he won't be just exceeding it, he will be having the recommended allowance for two and half days in just one hour. From creme eggs!

In calorific terms, this challenge is the equivalent of eating or drinking:

  • 60 pints of Guinness OR
  • 185 measures of Gin OR
  • 117 glasses of wine OR
  • 73 Doughnuts OR
  • 221 Jaffa Cakes OR
  • 143 Shredded Wheats OR
  • 23 Kebabs OR
  • 352 cups of tea OR
  • 21 Big Macs OR
  • 131 servings of McDonald's chips OR
  • 1457 strawberries OR
  • 28 Chicken Bhunas OR
  • 38 Naan breads OR
  • 5100 sticks of celery

All in the space of ONE HOUR!!!

Hey James!

I am the lucky guy who is undertaking the Creme Egg Challenge! Just thought I'd say that I've already worked it all out, but I'm still going through with it!

They also contain 1.5kg of sugar!

Hope you'll be watching!
