450 kJ On A Food Label
A label line that reads “450 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 25 g serve | 1,800 kJ | 430 kcal | high |
| 40 g serve | 1,125 kJ | 269 kcal | medium |
| 60 g serve | 750 kJ | 179 kcal | medium |
| 100 g serve | 450 kJ | 108 kcal | low |
| 150 g serve | 300 kJ | 72 kcal | low |
| 250 g serve | 180 kJ | 43 kcal | very low |
For example, if a 60 g serve contains 450 kJ, the food has about 750 kJ per 100 g, a medium-density food, similar to bread, lean meat, eggs and pasta dishes. Scale any pack to your portion with the food label calculator.
