800 kJ On A Food Label
If 800 kJ is the per-serve figure on a nutrition panel, check the serving size next to it. Here is how the energy per 100 g changes with the size of that serve.
| Serving size | kJ per 100 g | kcal per 100 g | Energy density |
|---|---|---|---|
| 25 g serve | 3,200 kJ | 765 kcal | high |
| 40 g serve | 2,000 kJ | 478 kcal | high |
| 60 g serve | 1,333 kJ | 319 kcal | medium |
| 100 g serve | 800 kJ | 191 kcal | medium |
| 150 g serve | 533 kJ | 127 kcal | low |
| 250 g serve | 320 kJ | 76 kcal | low |
Take a 60 g serve: 800 kJ ÷ 60 × 100 = 1,333 kJ per 100 g, which puts it in the medium-density group alongside bread, lean meat, eggs and pasta dishes. The food label calculator does this for any label.
