Frequently Asked Questions
How does the healthy swap finder work?
Pick your dish and it finds the lowest-kJ alternative in the same category of the same chain, from the menus — and shows how much kJ you save. If your dish is already the lightest in its category, it says so instead of offering a swap that saves nothing.
Why only published kJ figures?
A swap has to be honest: only dishes with a kJ figure the chain publishes are ranked, never a figure the chain does not publish.
What if there is no lighter alternative?
The tool says so plainly — either no other dish in that category has a published kJ figure, or your dish is already the lightest in its category, so no lighter swap exists.
Does a lower-kJ dish always cost less?
No — the swap is ranked on kJ only. The price of the alternative is shown next to it so you can judge both.
