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.

Where do the figures come from?

From the live menu data on this site — 1,529 menu entries across the Top 10 chains.
