About Kilojoule (kJ)
Equal to 1,000 joules, the kilojoule is the standard energy unit on food nutrition labels in Australia, New Zealand, and the European Union. A typical adult's daily energy requirement is about 8,700 kJ (approximately 2,080 kilocalories), and food packages in metric countries display energy content in kJ.
About Joule (J)
The SI derived unit of energy, one joule equals the work done by a force of one newton moving an object one meter. Named after James Prescott Joule, who demonstrated the mechanical equivalent of heat, the joule is used in physics, chemistry, and engineering for all forms of energy, work, and heat.
