How many kilojoules are in a halal snack pack?
A medium halal snack pack with hot chips, doner lamb, cheese, garlic sauce and chilli sauce works out to roughly 6,900 kJ (about 1,650 Cal). A small comes in near 4,400 kJ and a large, loaded one can pass 10,000 kJ, which is more energy than the 8,700 kJ average adult daily intake used on Australian menu boards.

What makes up the number
An HSP is four things stacked: chips, meat, cheese and sauce. Three of those four are energy dense, and the sauces do more damage than people expect. Forty grams of garlic sauce carries more energy than a whole bread roll.
| Item | Per 100 g / 100 mL | Serve | Energy | Calories |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hot chips, deep fried (takeaway) | 997 kJ/100 g | 200 g | 1,994 kJ | 476 Cal |
| Doner lamb, grilled | 1,263 kJ/100 g | 150 g | 1,895 kJ | 453 Cal |
| Cheddar cheese, regular fat | 1,686 kJ/100 g | 30 g | 506 kJ | 121 Cal |
| Garlic sauce / aioli | 2,092 kJ/100 g | 40 g | 837 kJ | 200 Cal |
| Chilli sauce | 382 kJ/100 g | 20 g | 76 kJ | 18 Cal |
| BBQ sauce | 980 kJ/100 g | 20 g | 196 kJ | 47 Cal |
By size and order
| How it is eaten | Energy | Calories | Protein |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small (150 g chips, 100 g meat, sauces) | 4,400 kJ | 1,050 Cal | ~35 g |
| Medium (200 g chips, 150 g meat, cheese, 2 sauces) | 6,900 kJ | 1,650 Cal | ~55 g |
| Large (300 g chips, 250 g meat, cheese, 3 sauces) | 10,400 kJ | 2,490 Cal | ~85 g |
| Medium, chicken instead of lamb, no cheese | 5,500 kJ | 1,315 Cal | ~50 g |
How to order a lighter one
- Swap lamb for chicken. Saves roughly 600 kJ on a medium and adds protein per gram.
- Garlic sauce on the side. Halving the aioli saves about 420 kJ, the same as walking 45 minutes.
- Skip the cheese for about 500 kJ.
- Split it. Half a medium HSP is about 3,450 kJ, which sits inside most people's dinner budget.
Is an HSP actually that bad?
For protein it is respectable: a medium lands near 55 g, more than three eggs and a chicken breast combined. The problem is the energy that comes with it. Eaten once a fortnight inside a week that is otherwise tracked, an HSP is a meal. Eaten every Friday without logging it, it is roughly 350,000 kJ a year.

Common questions
How many calories are in a halal snack pack?
A medium HSP is about 1,650 Cal (6,900 kJ). Australian labels and menu boards use kilojoules, so 6,900 kJ is the number you will see quoted locally.
How much protein is in an HSP?
A medium with doner lamb and cheese carries roughly 55 g of protein, most of it from the meat and cheese.
Is a chicken HSP lower in kilojoules than lamb?
Yes, by around 600 kJ on a medium serve, because doner lamb carries more fat per 100 g than grilled chicken.
What is the 8,700 kJ on the menu board?
8,700 kJ is the average adult daily energy intake used for Australian menu labelling. A medium HSP is about 79% of it.
Can I log an HSP in OzCal?
Yes. Snap it or search for it. OzCal carries the components and the common combinations, so you can adjust chips, meat and sauce to what you actually ordered.
