The foods we eat provide energy, which is measured in kilojoules. Just how much energy depends on the amount of carbohydrate, protein and fat the food contains. Foods such as fruits, vegetables and legumes are relatively low energy (kilojoule) dense foods. Foods which are high in fats, added sugars or alcohol are by far the most energy-dense foods.
