The UK's fattiest and most calorific pies Brand 'If you want to lower your cholesterol and the risk of heart disease, then the NHS recommends you consume less fat altogether and swap saturated fats for unsaturated fats.'Įxamples of unsaturated fats are oils found in plants or fish, including mackerel, olive oil, nuts, avocados and rapeseed oil. Ms Snover added: 'Women are advised not to consume more than 20g of saturated fat per day.

Melissa Snover, a registered nutritionist, and founder of 3D-printed personalised vitamin brand Nourished, said it depends on an individual's weight whether a high calorie diet is good or bad for them.īut she said: 'Generally speaking, a high-calorie diet is one of the basic risks for the development of obesity.' And too many calories cause weight gain.'

Sarah Almond Bushell, a registered dietitian and feeding therapist at Children's Nutrition, said: 'Saturated fat increases LDL cholesterol levels in the body, which is often called the 'bad cholesterol' and this is what is linked to heart disease and stroke.'ĭr Bushell added: 'Fat contains more calories than any other nutrient and so when we eat too much of it we eat more calories. This compares to just 3.8g of saturated fat in a Krispy Kreme ring doughnut, 11g in a Big Mac and 12g in a Greggs sausage roll. And the worst offending pies in terms of saturated fat content are the M&S Chicken and Leek (30g), Higgidy's Free Range Chicken and Ham Hock (23.5g) and Higgidy's Spinach, Feta and Pine Nut (23.4g).
