A calorie is the amount of energy that needed to raise the temperature of one gram of water one degree Celsius. The Joule is the SI unit for energy.
a joule is smaller 1 kcal = 4.184 kj
A joule, a Calorie...
The two main units of Energy are the Joule and the Calorie. The Joule is normally represented as the KiloJoule (kJ), which is equivelent to 1000 J. The Calorie is represented as Kcal. 2000 Kcal (calories) is given as the Guideline Daily Allowance for most adults. 1 calorie = 4.184 J or equivalently, 1 kcal = 4.184 kJ Google calculator: http://www.google.com/search?q=1+calorie+in+joules&btnG=Search Wiki Joule entry: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joule Wiki Calorie entry: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calorie
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.
1 kcal = 1000 calories = 4 186,8 Joule Female 19-30 - 2 400 (kcal) each day -> 72 000 kcal/month -> 301 449,6 Joule 31-50 - 2 300 (kcal) each day -> 69 000 kcal/month -> 288 889,2 Joule 51-70 - 2 100 (kcal) each day -> 63 000 kcal/month -> 263 768,4 Joule >70 - 1 900 (kcal) each day -> 57 000 kcal/month -> 238647,6 Joule Male 19-30 -3 100 (kcal) each day -> 93 000 kcal/month -> 389372,4 Joule 31-50 - 2 900 (kcal) each day -> 87 000 kcal/month -> 364251,6 Joule 51-70 - 2 600 (kcal) each day -> 78 000 kcal/month -> 326 570,4 Joule >70 - 2 200 (kcal) each day -> 66 000 kcal/month -> 276328,8 Joule a lot of people eat more than they require, that's why there is so much obesity around the world.
A calorie is greater - it is equal to about 4.2 joules.
One Kcal equals 4184J so simply multiply your Kcals with that.
kilocalorie,which is the same as calorie
"cal." or "kcal."
The Calorie.
No there's not. Except on the back of food packets it is called Kcal's instead of calories. This answer is wrong. A food, or dietary Calorie is equal to 1000 calories, which is 1 Kcal (kilocalorie). A capital C is also used to designate a Kcal, or 1000 small calories. A small calorie is designated by a small c, and is equal to the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 cubic centimeter of water by 1 degree centigrade at standard atmospheric pressure. The small calorie is most often used as a measure of heat in sciences such as Chemistry. This term is slowly being replaced using joules. See Calorie and joule on Wikipedia.
The most popular two heat energy units are: Calorie and BTU (British Thermal Unit).Both these units are obsolete. These days, allforms of energy are measured in joules.
