Another Answer
A calorie is an obsolescent unit of measurement (cgsA system) used to measure energy; it is not simply used to measure the energy available in food, as implied by the original answer. It was defined as the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one degree Celsius at standard atmospheric pressure.
The original answer is not describing a calorie, but a kilocalorie which is 1000 calories.
