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. 1,300 kJ is 310.71 Cal, so a label that says 1,300 kJ and a tracker that says 310.71 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 650 kJ, which is 155.35 Cal. Twice it is 2,600 kJ, which is 621.41 Cal.
