How many kilojoules are in a Bunnings snag?
A standard Bunnings sausage sizzle is a beef sausage on a slice of white bread with onion and tomato sauce: about 1,100 kJ (265 Cal). Hold the sauce and onion and you are near 935 kJ. Two snags and a soft drink puts you over 3,000 kJ, roughly a third of the 8,700 kJ daily average.

How it adds up
| How it is eaten | Energy | Calories | Protein |
|---|---|---|---|
| Snag, bread only | 935 kJ | 224 Cal | ~13 g |
| Snag, bread, onion and sauce | 1,104 kJ | 264 Cal | ~13 g |
| Two snags with the lot | 2,208 kJ | 528 Cal | ~26 g |
| Two snags plus a 375 mL soft drink | 3,798 kJ | 908 Cal | ~26 g |
The honest read
One snag is a small meal, not a blowout. It is the second snag, the soft drink and the fact that it usually lands on top of lunch that moves the number. At 1,100 kJ it costs less energy than a large flat white and a banana bread, and it carries about 13 g of protein.
Reduced-fat sausages sit near 750 kJ per 100 g instead of 911, which takes a snag down to roughly 980 kJ with the lot. Wholemeal bread barely changes the energy but adds fibre.

Common questions
How many calories are in a Bunnings sausage sizzle?
About 265 Cal (1,104 kJ) with onion and sauce on a single slice of white bread.
Does the onion add much?
No. Twenty-five grams of fried onion is about 100 kJ, and it is the cheapest flavour on the plate.
How much protein is in a snag?
Roughly 13 g, mostly from the sausage.
What if I have two?
Two snags with the lot is about 2,208 kJ, or a quarter of the 8,700 kJ daily average used on Australian menu boards.
Is the sausage sizzle worse than a meat pie?
No. A standard 175 g meat pie is about 1,666 kJ, which is roughly 50% more than a snag with the lot.
