# 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.

Key numbers
- 1,100 kJ (265 Cal)
- 935 kJ

## The line-by-line

| Item | Per 100 g / 100 mL | Serve | Energy | Calories |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Beef sausage, BBQ'd | 911 kJ/100 g | 65 g | 592 kJ | 141 Cal |
| White bread, one slice | 980 kJ/100 g | 35 g | 343 kJ | 82 Cal |
| Fried onion | ~400 kJ/100 g | 25 g | 100 kJ | 24 Cal |
| Tomato sauce | 460 kJ/100 g | 15 g | 69 kJ | 16 Cal |

## 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.

**Where these numbers come from:** Sausage, bread, onion and sauce values come from the FSANZ Australian Food Composition Database entries in OzCal's catalogue. Fried onion is shown as an approximate value because sausage-sizzle onion varies with how much oil it is cooked in. Figures are per 100 g or per the serve stated in each row, and real serves vary between stores, cooks and batches. Always check the label or the chain's own nutrition panel for the version in front of you. Energy converted at 1 Cal = 4.184 kJ. Last updated 2026-09-15.
