How much energy is in my food?

Our task was to calculate how much energy is in our food (kcal, kJ and kWh). I thought I would capture my brunch that I had on sunday. There are many different things so I thought this would be interesting.

What did I eat?

Egg - Tomato - Chillie - Sauce 120 kcal, 502 kJ, 0.1395 kWh

Hummus, 82kcal, 343 kJ, 0.09536 kWh, 

Olives, 71 kcal,301 kJ, 0.08257 kWh 

Tomato -cucumber -feta Salad, 75 kcal, 314 kJ, 0.087225 kWh

fruit salad, 26 kcal, 108 kJ, 0.03023 kWh

organic greek yogurt, 65 kcal, 272 kJ, 0.07559 kWh

whole grain bread, 52 kcal, 217 kJ, 0.060476 kWh

In total the food had 491 kcal, 2055 kJ, 0.571033 kWh

The food was very delicious and healthy, everything was homemade! If you want to eat good and fresh breakfast / brunch I would recommend the café bebek in Zurich. The food is mostly organic and local. Here the link so you can get a little taste http://bebek.ch/entry/ .
