How Many Kilojoules in a Halal Snack Pack (HSP)? | OzCal

Australian kilojoule guide
# 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.

Key numbers
- 6,900 kJ (about 1,650 Cal)
- 4,400 kJ
- 10,000 kJ
## 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

**Q: 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.

**Q: 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.

**Q: 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.

**Q: 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.

**Q: 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.
