A spokesperson for Bulk.com commented:
“While many of these Easter eggs have a surprisingly high calorie content, it’s important to keep in mind that overindulging in chocolate over the Easter period is unlikely to completely ruin any weight loss goals you may have.
“Weight gain tends to happen over a much longer window of time, so even if you are eating over your body’s daily caloric intake for several days, you are unlikely to observe any noticeable fat gain.
“However, if you still intend to be mindful of your chocolate consumption this Easter, consider buying several smaller Easter eggs rather than one large one.
“This way, you can eat the whole Easter egg in one sitting, without feeling as guilty, while still satisfying your sugar cravings.”
