1,120 kJ On A Food Label
A label line that reads “1,120 kJ per serve” only tells half the story. Divide by the serve size and you get the energy density, how much energy is packed into every 100 g of the food.
| Serving size | kJ per 100 g | kcal per 100 g | Energy density |
|---|---|---|---|
| 40 g serve | 2,800 kJ | 669 kcal | high |
| 60 g serve | 1,867 kJ | 446 kcal | high |
| 100 g serve | 1,120 kJ | 268 kcal | medium |
| 150 g serve | 747 kJ | 178 kcal | medium |
| 250 g serve | 448 kJ | 107 kcal | low |
Take a 60 g serve: 1,120 kJ ÷ 60 × 100 = 1,867 kJ per 100 g, which puts it in the high-density group alongside biscuits, chips, chocolate, nuts and oils. Scale any pack to your portion with the food label calculator.
