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.
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.
It could be either; but when you are talking about food, what is of interest is usually the energy content - meaning, chemical energy stored in the food. Heat IS energy, and a kilocalorie is the energy required to heat one kilogram of water by one degree Celsius.
Energy measurement in foods refers to the number of calories supplied by that food. This is crucial for understanding how different foods contribute to our daily energy intake. By knowing the energy content of foods, we can make informed decisions about our diet to maintain a healthy energy balance.
The recommended unit to use for any type of energy is the joule. That way, no conversion factors are required, when converting from one type of energy to another. In practice, the calorie or kilocalorie is still sometimes used for food.

Yes, "calories" are a measurement of energy that is contained in the food you consume.
calories
Any unit of energy can be used to describe the energy content of food.
Joules (J), the same for any measurement of energy.
No, calorie is not a mineral ,it is energy.............
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.
It is a more convenient unit of measurement.
It could be either; but when you are talking about food, what is of interest is usually the energy content - meaning, chemical energy stored in the food. Heat IS energy, and a kilocalorie is the energy required to heat one kilogram of water by one degree Celsius.
As for any energy, Joules are the unit of measurement
Energy measurement in foods refers to the number of calories supplied by that food. This is crucial for understanding how different foods contribute to our daily energy intake. By knowing the energy content of foods, we can make informed decisions about our diet to maintain a healthy energy balance.
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.
The recommended unit to use for any type of energy is the joule. That way, no conversion factors are required, when converting from one type of energy to another. In practice, the calorie or kilocalorie is still sometimes used for food.
