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. 300 kJ is 71.7 Cal, so a label that says 300 kJ and a tracker that says 71.7 Cal describe the same energy.
This is a small amount of energy, closer to a single piece of fruit or a drink than to a meal.
For scale, half of this amount is 150 kJ, which is 35.85 Cal. Twice it is 600 kJ, which is 143.4 Cal.
