A label line that reads “2,200 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 60 g serve | 3,667 kJ | 876 kcal | high |
| 100 g serve | 2,200 kJ | 526 kcal | high |
| 150 g serve | 1,467 kJ | 351 kcal | medium |
| 250 g serve | 880 kJ | 210 kcal | medium |
For example, if a 60 g serve contains 2,200 kJ, the food has about 3,667 kJ per 100 g, a high-density food, similar to biscuits, chips, chocolate, nuts and oils. Scale any pack to your portion with the food label calculator.
