What are Calorie and Kilocalorie

Definition of Calorie

A calorie is a unit of energy commonly used to quantify the energy content in food and beverages. Originating from the Latin word 'calor', meaning heat, it was first defined by Professor Nicolas Clément in 1824. In scientific terms, a calorie is the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one degree Celsius. Despite its frequent use in diet and nutrition, the scientific community often uses the joule as the standard unit of energy. However, calories remain a popular measure in dietary contexts.

Definition of Kilocalorie

A kilocalorie, often referred to simply as a calorie in dietary contexts, is a unit of energy equivalent to 1,000 small calories. It is commonly used to express the energy content of foods and beverages, providing a measure of the potential energy intake from consumption. The term originates from the metric system, where 'kilo' signifies a factor of a thousand. In scientific and nutritional references, the kilocalorie is synonymous with the Calorie with an uppercase C, distinguishing it from the smaller calorie used in physics and chemistry.
