It is a unit of energy
A calorie is a unit of energy. We tend to associate calories with food, but they apply to anything containing energy.
calorie
A calorie (lowercase c) is a unit of energy measurement, while a Calorie (uppercase C) is a kilocalorie, which is equal to 1000 calories. In nutrition, Calorie is commonly used to represent the energy content of food.

No, the calorie is an older unit. The SI unit is the Joule.
The large calorie, kilogram calorie, dietary calorie or food calorie approximates the energy needed to increase the temperature of 1 kilogram of water by 1 °C.
A calorie is a measure of energy. It doesn't make sense to ask how much energy you need to lose energy.
No, calorie is not a mineral ,it is energy.............
In biology, the calorie is a unit of heat energy. The calorie is used to measure the amount of energy in the chemical bonds in molecules. A calorie is the amount of energy it takes to increase the temperature of 1 gram of water 1°C. Our normal use of the term 'calorie' is used to describe the amount of heat energy in food, but we actually use the kilo-calorie. For example, a cheeseburger that is advertised as having 300 calories actually contains 300,000 calories of energy.
A calorie with a lowercase "c" is a unit of energy commonly used to measure the energy content of food. A Calorie with an uppercase "C" is equivalent to 1,000 calories and is often used interchangeably with kilocalorie (kcal) on nutrition labels.
Wrong. The calorie is not an SI unit, and it is confusing because it comes in two varieties: gram when spelled calorie (small c) and Kilogram when spelled Calorie (Capital C). The SI energy unit is the Joule.
