A Calorie, in the context of nutritional science and thermodynamics, is a unit of energy. Specifically, it is defined as the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one degree Celsius at a pressure of one atmosphere. There are two types of calories: the small calorie (cal) and the large Calorie (Cal), where 1 Calorie is equivalent to 1,000 small calories. In everyday usage, particularly in food labeling, the term 'Calorie' often refers to the kilocalorie (kcal), which is equivalent to 1,000 calories. In the International System of Units (SI), energy is measured in joules, and 1 calorie is approximately 4.184 joules.
Definition of KilojouleA Kilojoule is a unit of energy within the International System of Units (SI). It is equivalent to 1,000 joules, where a joule is the energy transferred when a force of one newton is applied over a distance of one meter. Kilojoules are commonly used to quantify energy in nutritional contexts, such as food energy content. In this context, 1 kilojoule is equivalent to 239.005736 calories. The use of kilojoules provides a more precise measurement of energy, enabling clearer understanding and comparison across various scientific and practical applications, ranging from physics to nutrition.
