What are Kilocalorie and Pound-force-foot

A kilocalorie (kcal) is a unit of energy commonly used to express the amount of energy in food. It is equivalent to 1,000 small calories, which are the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one degree Celsius at a pressure of one atmosphere. The kilocalorie is used in nutrition to quantify the energy provided by foods and the energy expended through physical activity.

A pound-force foot (lbf-ft) is a unit of torque or moment of force in the Imperial and US customary systems of measurement. It represents the rotational force generated when a one pound-force is applied to a one-foot long lever at a perpendicular distance from the pivot point. This unit is commonly used in mechanical engineering and is a measure of the work done when a force is applied over a rotational distance.
