This happens on a complex molecualr level. The calories aren't actually "made". They come from molecules, polymers, macromolecules, and monomers. This happens when amino acids, glucoses, and atoms combine to form molecules. Different molecules contain things like lipids (fats) or sugars (in sugar and starches) or proteins, which are what we know of as calories for energy.

There are no differences between "calories" and "Food Calories" when it comes to measurement; they refer to the same unit of energy. Therefore, 732.0 calories is equivalent to 732.0 Food Calories. In dietary terms, Food Calories are often denoted with a capital "C" (Cal) to distinguish them from small calories (cal), with 1 Food Calorie (Cal) equal to 1,000 small calories (cal). Thus, 732.0 calories equals 732.0 Food Calories.
