Lowest kilojoules: spread, ranked
The spread with the fewest kilojoules on Australian shelves is Flora Proactiv Cholesterol Lowering Margarine Spread Light 500g at 1535 kJ per 100 g (367 Cal), verified against the pack label.
Full-fat butter and margarine both sit near 3,000 kJ per 100 g; the reduced-fat spreads genuinely halve it by being half water. Per slice of toast that is the whole difference.
Method. Energy per 100 g from the verified dataset. Fat content is destiny here: reduced-fat spreads replace fat with water and the kilojoules follow. Covers the 102 on-shelf products with this
value; updated with the shelf. Ties rank jointly. Never sponsored, never hand-ordered. Calories are converted from the labelled kilojoules (1 Cal = 4.184 kJ).
