What are Calorie and Kilojoule

Definition of Calorie

A calorie is a unit of energy commonly used to quantify the amount of energy derived from food. Specifically, the International Table Calorie (IT Calorie) is defined as the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one degree Celsius, at one atmosphere of pressure. While historically used in nutrition, the term calorie is now often replaced by the joule in scientific contexts, with one calorie equaling approximately 4.184 joules. Despite this transition, the calorie remains a widely recognized measure for dietary energy intake.

Definition of Kilojoule

A kilojoule is a unit of energy within the International System of Units (SI). It is equivalent to one thousand joules and is used to measure energy in various contexts, including nutritional energy values, physical processes, and electrical energy consumption. One kilojoule is defined as the amount of energy transferred when a force of one newton acts over a distance of one meter. In dietary terms, kilojoules often replace calories for expressing the energy content of foods, with one calorie approximately equal to 4.184 kilojoules.
