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.
