Be able to use calories and kilojoules side by side

Have the option to use either kilojoules or calories at every part of the website, instead of chosing one or the other.
Useful because sometimes only one of the nutritional counts is available and you have to google a conversion calculator. Frustrating when you only have one screen infront of you, like a cellphone. Also useful because you might live in a place where kilojoules are the norm, but you prefer using calories because they are a smaller number, so less confusing when you try to figure out how much food you can eat in the rest of the day
