As a prominent healthy eating campaigner, Jamie Oliver has fought tirelessly to reduce obesity levels across the nation. Instead, the 41-year-old star's Christmas lunch wades in at more than 7,000 calories per person - and almost 10,000 for the day if you include his 'leftovers' suggestions. According to government and NHS guidelines, the average woman should eat around 2,000 calories per day to maintain a healthy weight. His standard Christmas pudding recipe clocks in at a gut-busting 627 calories a portion - and that's without the brandy butter or cream. The recipes are included in Oliver's £26 Christmas Cookbook, which has already sold more than 8,000 copies.
