One calorie (cal) is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 g of water through 1 ° C (from 14.5-15.5 ° C). In real life, the kilocalorie (1000 calories) is used (the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a whole  kilogram of water through 1 ° C) because it's easier to conceptualize and use in practical applications.
