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.)
Answer
The 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.

What is the relationship between the calorie used by scientists 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'.
