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. 2,500 kJ is 597.51 Cal, so a label that says 2,500 kJ and a tracker that says 597.51 Cal describe the same energy.

This is the size of a single meal or a large serve of one dish.

For scale, half of this amount is 1,250 kJ, which is 298.76 Cal. Twice it is 5,000 kJ, which is 1,195.03 Cal.
