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. 600 kJ is 143.4 Cal, so a label that says 600 kJ and a tracker that says 143.4 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 300 kJ, which is 71.7 Cal. Twice it is 1,200 kJ, which is 286.81 Cal.
