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. 1,200 kJ is 286.81 Cal, so a label that says 1,200 kJ and a tracker that says 286.81 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 600 kJ, which is 143.4 Cal. Twice it is 2,400 kJ, which is 573.61 Cal.
