In physics, a calorie is a unit of energy measurement. It is defined as the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one degree Celsius. This measurement is used to quantify the energy content of food and the energy expended during physical activities.
A calorie is a unit of measurement for energy. In nutrition, calories refer to the energy content of food and beverages. The body uses calories from food to fuel its functions and activities. Energy expenditure is the amount of calories the body burns through physical activity, metabolism, and other bodily functions. Balancing calorie intake with energy expenditure is important for maintaining a healthy weight and overall well-being.
1) The unit for any type of energy is the joule. 2) In some contexts, such as food, the old-fashioned unit "calorie" is still used.
A calorie is the amount of heat required to warm 1 gram of water one degree Centigrade. A Calorie spelt with a big "C" is a kilocalorie and is used in evaluating food energy. It is the heat required to raise 1 kilogram of water one Centigrade degree. On an energy basis a calorie is 41 840 000 ergs.

Traditionally the BTU (British Thermal Unit), but now we usually use kilojoules
No, calorie is not a mineral ,it is energy.............
the measure of energy from food
In nutrition, a calorie is a unit of energy used to measure the energy content of food. In physics, a calorie is a unit of energy used to measure the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one degree Celsius. The main difference is in the context in which the term is used - one is related to food and nutrition, while the other is related to heat and energy in physics.
A calorie is a measurement of energy and has no size.
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.
All physics deals with energy and matter. In effect that is almost a complete definition of what Physics IS.
3500 Calories.....A Calorie is simply a measurement of energy expenditure
Calories are not compounds or elements. A calorie is a unit of measurement used to quantify the amount of energy that food provides when metabolized by the body.

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.
Cal and calories both refer to units of energy in food, but they are not the same. Cal, short for "calorie," is a unit of energy measurement commonly used in chemistry and physics. Calories, on the other hand, are the units of energy measurement used in nutrition to quantify the energy content of food. 1 calorie (cal) is equivalent to 1,000 calories (Cal), which is also known as a kilocalorie. So when you see "cal" on a food label, it actually means "Cal" or kilocalories.
