Because it is defined by fundamental SI units, ie the meter and the Newton, which is a force. 1 Joule is the energy used to move 1meter against a force of 1 Newton.
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.
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.
Traditionally the BTU (British Thermal Unit), but now we usually use kilojoules
If you refer to units, the standard (international) unit for energy is the joule.
One calorie is the thermal energy required to raise one gram of water by one deg C. (Note that in food, the calorie used is actually the kilocalorie. Also that one calorie = 4.2 Joules.)Another AnswerThe calorie is an older unit of measurement for energy and work. It was part of the centimetre-gram-second-ampere (cgsA) system, which has long been replaced by the SI system. The modern, SI, unit of measurement for energy and work is the joule.
No, calorie is not a mineral ,it is energy.............

A calorie is a measurement of energy and has no size.
Energy is measured in joules. Sometimes the older unit "calorie" is used instead - this is a unit defined on the basis of heat, but it is still a unit of energy.
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.
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.

The energy unit is the Joule, J in the International System of units;Calorie is also an energy unit;British Thermal units, BMU.1 BTU = 1055 J1 calorie = 4.18 J
It is a calorie
