A kilogram and a kilocalorie are quite different things and are not simply related.

A kilogram is the SI unit of mass. A kilocalorie is 1000 'small' calories, and is used as an energy measure for food.

Because of the obvious possibility of confusion, the preferred unit of energy is the Joule.

All of these things may be studied in a on-line encyclopedia.

There can be any number of grams in a kilocalorie: A gram is a unit of mass while kilocalorie is a unit of energy. A simple sugar and a complex sugar can have identical mass, but the complex sugar will have a higher caloric value. The same is true for other things. A peice of paper has fewer kilocalories than a cinder block, even if you had a stack of paper that weighed the the same as the block.
