kJ, Calories and kcal

Calories are the unit most recipes and fitness apps use. A food Calorie, written Cal here and also called kcal, is 4.184 kJ, and kilojoules (kJ) are what many food labels show. 550 Cal is 2,301.2 kJ, so a tracker that says 550 Cal and a label that says 2,301.2 kJ 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 275 Cal, which is 1,150.6 kJ. Twice it is 1,100 Cal, which is 4,602.4 kJ.
