If you eat a piece of bread and butter that contains 315,000 joules (315 kilojoules) of energy, you would have enough energy to walk or ride a bicycle for 15 minutes, jump for 6 minutes, or sleep for 1.5 hours. 315 kilojoules of energy would be enough for a 60 watt light bulb to burn for 1.5 hours, for a car to travel at 80 kilometers per hour for 7 seconds.
