Why do the food labels list the calories in food not the joules?
Depends what country you are from. In some countries (e.g. my country of New Zealand), the food labels show kilojoules of energy. In America, commonly calories is the measure of choice.You can convert to and from joules and calories:1 joule = 0.239005736 caloriesPersonally, I like using calories, so I divide the kJ's shown on the food label, by 4 (which is an approximate figure) to get the number of kCals.
