What are Kilocalorie and Nanojoule

A Kilocalorie, symbolized as kcal, is a unit of energy commonly used in measuring the calorific, heating, or metabolic value of foods. It is equivalent to 1,000 small calories, the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one kilogram of water by one degree Celsius at one atmosphere of pressure.

A Nanojoule (nJ) is a unit of energy in the International System of Units (SI), which is a metric system. One Nanojoule is equal to one billionth (1/1,000,000,000) of a Joule, the SI unit of energy, which corresponds to the energy transferred or work done when a force of one newton acts through a distance of one meter.
