we use kilojoules (kJ) to measure how much energy people get from consuming a food or drink. The kilojoule content of foods depends on the amount of carbohydrates, fats and proteins present in the food, and the portion size. a joule is so small that energy is often measured in batches of 1000 joules. A batch of 1000 joules is known as a kilojoule (kJ). ... Food energy is commonly measured in kilojoules (kJ). Even larger amounts of energy, such as electrical energy, are measured in megajoules (MJ).
