The big Calorie is also known as a kilocalorie or 1000 little calories. It is used as the unit of energy in nutritional measurements.
A calorie is the unit of energy required to raise one gram of water 1 degree Celsius. A kilocalorie, or Calorie, is the equivalent of 1000 calories.
In biology, the calorie is a unit of heat energy. The calorie is used to measure the amount of energy in the chemical bonds in molecules. A calorie is the amount of energy it takes to increase the temperature of 1 gram of water 1°C. Our normal use of the term 'calorie' is used to describe the amount of heat energy in food, but we actually use the kilo-calorie. For example, a cheeseburger that is advertised as having 300 calories actually contains 300,000 calories of energy.
Youmultiplythe amount of kilo calories you want to convert to calories by 1000.
The actual conversion of 1 kilogram is equal to 2.204622622 pounds. For everyday use, rounding to 2.2 should be enough. One pound is 0.45359237 kilogram, or 0.45 kg for everyday use.
Dm = 10 meters, dm = 0.1 meters. Note that neither unit is very common. Engineers usually prefer powers of 1000 (powers of 10, where the exponent is a multiple of 3), such as kilo, Mega, Giga ... and milli, micro, nano ... Specifically for units of length, the prefix "centi" (1/100), i.e. centimeter, is also quite popular.
a kilogram and a kilo are the same thing

Difference between specific heat and calorie
Nothing they are the same..
a megacalorie
I believe that the Scientist's calorie is an actual calorie; however, the dietitian's calorie is actually a Kilo-calorie. In other words, although a box of cereal may say 100 calories/serving...this is not accurate. It should read either 100 Kcal/serving, or 100,000 calories/ serving, but that would be a bit overwhelming. So, we've adopted a system of Kilo-calories that we inaccurately call 'calories'.

The difference between a calorie and a Calorie is calorie is a smaller unit than Calorie and it takes 1000 calorie's to make a Calorie. The Calorie (kilocalorie, kcal) is 1000 calories - a more useful unit and widely used.
