We investigate the belly-busting amount of food Brits scoff in a lifetime from 4,680 roasts to 3,000 cakes

THE average Brit eats 4,680 roast dinners, 3,000 cakes and half a ton of cereal as an adult, it has been revealed.
Here, GRAEME CULLIFORD shows how much of our favourites we scoff in life.
1491 STEAKS
Jeremy Clarkson famously had beef with a Top Gear producer when refused a steak - and got a prime cut from the Beeb.
12,542 SLICES OF BREAD
We get through an average of two slices a day, six days a week, using 208 knobs of butter a year in the process.
3,000 DOUGHNUTS
Sheer nectar to sweet-toothed Homer Simpson and they now come in an amazing array of flavours.
1585 FRY-UPS
Grease is the word when it comes to a classic cooked breakfast - but the full monty is a British institution.
17,000 CUPPAS
A well-earned cuppa is the perfect pick-me-up during the working day, so it’s no wonder we say char very much when the kettle goes on.
4,680 ROAST DINNERS

And it's even better with spuds and gravy.
2,500 TAKEAWAYS
Whether it’s pizza, curry or Chinese, not much beats bagging one of these little beauties on a Saturday night.
1,469 BURGERS
They are flippin’ tasty but body-conscious people like Posh may not relish the idea of tucking in.
1,592 DRUMSTICKS

14,000 PINTS
Mike Ashley has more. The Sun told how the tycoon drank 12 pints at a meeting then threw up.
