A calorie is actually a technical term that describes the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 degree centigrade at atmospheric pressure.

Having said that, we commonly use the term to mean how much energy we can get in a specific food.

Trans fat is a type of fat that is usually made from vegetable fat or unsaturated fat. Manufacturers force addional hydrogen into the structure of unsaturated fat and turn it into saturated fat or the type of fat found in meat. Trans fat is a more aggressive fat in causing heart and blood vessel diseases. It is commonly found in manufactured products such as cookies, cake, margarine and many others. Manufacturers like to use this fat because it increases the shelf life of food -- in other words -- makes food last longer without turning bad tasting.

Trans fat as well as other fat contains calories and that is how they are connected.
