What is the relationship between the calorie used by scientist and the calorie used by nutritionists?
I believe that the Scientist's calorie is an actual calorie; however, the dietitian's calorie is actually a Kilo-calorie. In other words, although a box of cereal may say 100 calories/serving...this is not accurate. It should read either 100 Kcal/serving, or 100,000 calories/ serving, but that would be a bit overwhelming. So, we've adopted a system of Kilo-calories that we inaccurately call 'calories'.
