GYG Kilojoules (kJ)

Convert GYG kJ to Calories

Australian menus and labels show energy in kilojoules, while many calorie trackers use Calories (kcal). One Calorie is 4.184 kJ, so divide kJ by 4.184 to get Cal. The Grilled Chicken Burrito is 3,220 kJ, which converts to about 770 Cal against a published 769 Cal. To build an order and see both units add up, use the GYG calorie calculator, which has a kJ and Cal switch.

kJ in popular GYG orders

The last column shows what share of a 8,700 kJ day each item uses. It is a reference point, not a target, because real daily needs vary with size, age and activity.

Lightest GYG meals by kJ

These are the 12 lowest-energy meals, ranked by kJ. Sides, desserts and drinks are left out, and so is anything under 150 Cal, so the table stays meals and snacks. For the same idea ranked in Calories, see GYG items under 500 Cal.

GYG kJ range by menu category

Format moves energy far more than filling does. Open a category for every item with its kJ, Cal and macros.

Why kJ and Cal can look a little out

Both numbers are published separately and each is rounded. That is why 12 items in the data differ by more than 2 Cal from a straight kJ ÷ 4.184 conversion, and why a converted figure can land a Calorie or two away from the one shown on an item page. Where the two disagree, the published value for the unit you are tracking is the one to use. The methodology page explains how custom builds are totalled.
