Commonly, such as in conversations, on food packaging or in dieting books, the shortened word calorie is used for the unit kcal. So, although there are technically 1,000 calories in a kilocalorie, when it says 1kcal on a food item, the item contains one calorie, so you would eat around 2,000 of this item a day.
Does that help?
