    Around 1200.

    The chips would be upwards of the 700 mark and the chicken would be around 250 or more.

    How many calories in a snackbox?

    For the record...

    So far there is no new regulations coming in that I know of.

    The Minster of Health Dr James Reilly stated on TV two weeks ago on RTE's "Operation Transformation" (and it was mentioned already in a previous thread) that he has asked for a code of behaviour in relation to such places willingly displaying calorie content on their menu.
    Dr Reilly further stated that the response back from the food outlets was not good and that if they didn't respond better by the end of the year, AFTER THAT, he would then further consider introducing further statutory laws, legally forcing the food industry serving the public in cafes, etc in Ireland, to list calorie content.

    They have till the end of the year to respond better with a voluntary system - if not, after that there might be further state laws introduced.
    Dr Reilly also stated that he would then name and shame those businesses that was currently unwilling to inform the public about the content they are eating.

    If it's a snackbox from a chipper it should be a bit higher given there's more chips and they are a bigger size. Suppose it all depends on portion size. Either way it's some amount of calories for one sitting. Riddled with salt too.

    It does, having the comp on TV and voting off the worst snack box every week is driving the obesity epidemic. Get Grease Factor off TV is what I say.

    I think the official statement of calories on a snackbox is: "A fucktonne"

    Hope that answers your question :P

    To fecking right to be fair. If it's gotta be on packaging for produce, why not in restuarants/fast food outlets?

    People will be suprised at how much is in the food that typically gets eaten.

    With regards to the OPs question, it's gonna be hard to give you an outright anwser, I've once read of it being around 1,700 (honestly not sure how accurate that is) and thats probably gonna depend on how stingy your chipper is when throwing in the chips.

    Talk about scaremongering :pac:

    A snack box could be anywhere from 650 kCal to around 1200 kCal, it obviously depends on the portions. There is no real standard snack box, they vary far too much to give an accurate answer.

    That's just for the drumstick and thigh, with chips that brings it up to 1075.

    *according to their sheet.
