Are you eating more calories than you think

    Data suggests that men consume 1,000 more calories than they think every day, while women eat the equivalent of 800 calories more than their estimates. The findings shed light on a long standing public health mystery. Over the last 40 years, official statistics show the number of calories people consume has dropped however, the population has continued to gain weight.

    A senior Irish politician has hit out at Boris Johnson after he failed to mention Ireland in a key Brexit speech. Fianna Fail TD Stephen Donnelly slammed the Foreign Secretary for speaking about stag parties and the eye-popping activities of those living abroad but did not address the pressing issue of the border in his “road to Brexit” speech in London last week. He said: “It was an extraordinary speech. It was insulting. It was reckless.” Mr Johnson was speaking at the Policy Exchange think tank in London on Wednesday. He urged people to unite around Brexit, adding the UK’s departure from the EU should not be seen as a great V sign from the cliffs of Dover.
