How many kilojoules are in a party pie?
A typical party pie (about 48 g) is around 520 kJ (124 Cal), and brands sit between roughly 460 and 560 kJ each. Four of them come to about 2,080 kJ - close to a single full-size meat pie at around 1,900 kJ. Add a squeeze of sauce and a couple of party sausage rolls and the plate climbs fast, which is worth knowing before finals weekend, not to skip the spread but to know the number.

- 520 kJ (124 Cal) per party pie

Reading the finals spread without ruining it
- The sauce and the second helping are the movers, not the pie itself. One pie is ~520 kJ; it's number five and the sides that add up.
- Party pies vs one full pie: four party pies land about the same as a single full-size meat pie, so pick the format you'll actually enjoy rather than doubling up on both.
- The drink is a quiet ~675 kJ. A zero-sugar can takes almost all of that off with no change to the food.
- It's one Saturday. Knowing the number is the point, not skipping the feed.
