Kilojoule/Calorie intake calculator & Calories/Kilojoules counter (Cal/Kj)

Due to popular demand for a very much simplified version of the Nutrient Analysis Program, NutriCalc, (a detailed dietary foods vitamins and minerals composition program), which allows an accurate calculation of kilojoule and calorie intake, I have created a simple kilojoules/calories counter. It is available for FREE as an online web based program, which will still have similar functionality to the Nutrient Calculation Program. That is, you can enter different groups of foods and their weights into a window, and then the program will automatically calculate your food energy intake (in kilojoules and calories) over how ever many days you choose to record your diet diary.

To create this food kilojoule counting/calorie analysis program, and then offer it for free, is a reasonably large task, but it is now available. I will also make available at some stage in the future a food diet diary, to assist in your health or weight loss goals.

As a very basic Kilojoule/calorie intake guide, the following foods are listed with their corresponding energy values per 100 grams of that food:

• Red meat (eg. beef, lamb, veal): 264 Cal, 1106 Kj

• Poultry: (eg. chicken, turkey, duck, goose): 253 Cal, 1058 Kj

• Seafood - Fish: 163 Calories, 681 Kilojoules

• Seafod - Crustaceans & Mollusks: 141 Cal, 590 Kj

• Pork: 273 Cal, 1142 Kj

• Game Meat (eg. Kangaroo, Rabbit): 144 Cal, 603 Kj

• Eggs: 170 kcal, 710 Kilojule

• Butter: 717 Cal, 2999 Kj

• Cheese: 304 Cal, 1270 Kj

• Cream: 292 Cal, 1223 Kj

• Milk: 56 Calories, 235 Kilojoules

• Whey Protein Isolate Powder: 389 Cal, 1627 Kj

• Yoghurt: 61 Cal, 257 Kj

• Legumes, (eg. Beans, Peas, Soybeans): 111 Cal, 466 Kj

• Bread: 257 Cal, 1074 Kj

• Rice: 121 kcal, 507 Kilojule

• Biscuits (plain): 359 Cal, 1502 Kj

• Cake: 378 Calories, 1374 Kilojoules

• Breakfast Cereals: 345 Cal, 1446 Kj

• Nuts (eg. Walnuts, Cashews, Almonds, Macadamia): 608 Cal, 2544 Kj

• Peanuts (which are actually a Legume, not a nut): 576 Cal, 2412 Kj

The above is a very small list of foods with their corresponding Kilojoule intake/Caloric value per 100 grams. The calculator/counter program is available online which lists over 600 foods. You can enter a full day or several days meal(s) to get your TOTAL energy intake per day or several days - NOT per each food, as most other kilojule counting programs provide. This will be the most user-friendly Dietary Energy Counter (kilojoules/calories) on the web!

Thank you, and any feedback on what you would like to see in this program would be very much appreciated. This calculator/counter is now available FREE as an online application via this website: CLICK HERE.
