1 kilocalorie = 4186.8 joule = 0.0041868 megajoule (rounded) 1 megajoule = 238.85 kilocalorie (rounded)
Kilocalorie is largest. 1 kilocalorie = 1000 calories = 4,200 Joules = 3.98 BTU
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.
As far as I know, they are the same thing. Either that or a calorie is infinitesimal. Kilocalories are what most refer to simply as calories (the calories listed on food labels.)AnswerThe clue is in the prefix, 'kilo'. A kilocalorie (kcal) is one-thousand calories (cal). The problem is that people in the food industry are either simply too lazy or too stupid to use the work 'kilocalorie'.As the calorie is an obsolete unit, they should be using the joule.
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.

No.
A calorie is greater - it is equal to about 4.2 joules.
One calorie of heat is equivalent to one kilocalorie (kcal) in nutrition. This means that when we talk about calories in food, we are actually referring to kilocalories, where 1 kcal is equal to 1000 calories of heat energy.
