Would This Put You Off McDonald's and KFC?

The information may be there on the packaging, but the last time you scoffed a punnet of Macca's fries, did you stop to consider just how many calories you were ingesting?

You definitely would if this Instagram artist's depiction of junk food in its packaging became a reality.

Calorie Brands has amassed more than 45, 000 followers in eight days with their images of popular junk food and takeaways that show the brand logo replaced by the item's dreaded number of calories.

If you're eyeing up a certain hazelnut chocolate spread for your toast this morning, you may reconsider it when you see that a jar of Nutella costs you 4520 calories.

And for those enjoying an Instagram trawl while digging into a tub of Ben & Jerry's, you may be halted mid-spoonful by the tweaked image of the ice cream revealing just how many calories are packed in.

Meanwhile, a portion of McDonald's fries are renamed "515", a bottle of Heinz tomato sauce as "760" and a packet of Skittles as "230 Cal".
