The working

kJ, Calories and kcal

Kilojoules (kJ) are the metric unit of energy, and food labels in Australia, New Zealand, the UK and the EU give energy in them. A food Calorie, written Cal here and also called kcal, is the other common unit. 1,000 kJ is 239.01 Cal, so a label that says 1,000 kJ and a tracker that says 239.01 Cal describe the same energy.

This is a modest amount of energy, the size of a snack or a small drink.

For scale, half of this amount is 500 kJ, which is 119.5 Cal. Twice it is 2,000 kJ, which is 478.01 Cal.
