Difference between kilocalorie and calorie in nutrition?

As far as food nutrition labeling goes, they are the same thing. There are two names because a calorie is defined as different things in different places. The calorie Americans have grown up with is defined as the amount of energy needed to raise 1000 grams of water 1 degree celsius. Let's call that the kilogram-based calorie. In other parts of the world, a calorie is defined as the energy needed to raise only 1 gram of water 1 degree celsius. Call that the gram-based calorie. To make the kilogram-based calorie equivalent to the gram-based calorie, you have to multiply the gram-based calorie by 1000. So, when you see CALORIE, they are talking about a kilogram-based calorie, and when you see KILOCALORIE (kCal), they are talking about 1000 gram-based calories, so they both equal the same amount of energy.

Another Answer

A calorie is an obsolete (cgsA-system) unit of measurement for energy, now replaced by the joule in the SI system.

A kilocalorie is 1000 calories.

The term, 'calorie', is misused in the nutritional industry, the correct term being 'kilocalorie'. This is little more than sloppy use of units of measurement by the nutritional industry.

How many calories should a 45 year old women eat per day?

Between 1200 and 1400 calories daily depending on height. Metabolism slows with age. This means that at age 45, much less food can be eaten than when you were ten years younger. If you ate 1200 calories a day when you were 35 years old, you should be eating no more than 1000-1100 calories now. Most health gurus advise not to go below 1000 calories per day but to increase physical activity instead. Of course weight training, and the building of muscle mass, will help burn calories but the sad fact is that the older you get, the less you can eat.

How many cals. to lose 10 lbs in 10 days?

For you to lose 10 pounds in 10 days... really it will mostly be water weight. But aiming to lose 10 pounds of FAT in 10 days (a pound a day) requires you to burn an excess of 3500 calories each day.

To start, take your weight in pounds and multiply by 10 and that's how many calories you use to maintain your body on an average day with a weak metabolism (which you will have after starving for a week). Example: 150lbs X 10=1500 calories.

Now if you eat nothing, you will burn 1500 calories a day.

To reach the 3500 calorie deficit you need, you now need to workout to burn 2000 more calories.

Or.. you could each 1000 calories, and work off 3000. How ever you want to mix and match eating and workout to get -3500 for the day.

My suggestion is though to drink a lot.. a LOT of water. 64oz at least. And that will help flush your water weight too.

I mean, if you actually manage to burn 3500 calories in a day for 10 days AND keep up the water intake, you will likely lose more than just 10 pounds. But you might also get very sick. Your body isn't built to handle burning 2000 calories in a workout when its not eating any. And unless you're insanely obese, going past a 1000 calorie deficit is unhealthy.

Just ask yourself if these 10 pounds are worth your life. Good luck.

How many calories can a 290 pound man eat a day if he wants to lose 50 pounds in 3 months?

Based on the formulation of the question, I assume that he's a 250-lb man with 50 lb of fat. Fat cells require virtually zero maintenance calories so he's only maintaining his target weight. If he's a reasonably young, reasonably active man with a reasonably healthy metabolism, his maintenance diet is approximately 3,000 calories per day. (I'm not getting out nutritional tables and a calculator, so my figures are probably only accurate to plus or minus 20%, but then so are most diets. ^_^) Every pound of fat represents 3,000 calories, so in order to lose 50 pounds he needs to reduce his intake by 150,000 calories over ninety days, which is between 1,500 and 1,600 calories per day. Subtracting that from his maintenance quote of 3,000 calories, we calculate his weight-loss diet at a little less than 1,500 calories per day. He'll have no trouble getting enough vitamins, minerals and other nutrients at that level of consumption, assuming he knows his way around the vitamin store and has some basic knowledge of nutrition, for example regarding fat-soluble vitamins and calcium-magnesium balance. However, he'll be very hungry. His body will metabolize his stored fat but that does not provide the same satiated feeling as metabolizing a good meal. Some people suggest that he'll have another, more serious long-term problem. They point to our fundamental nature as hunter-gatherers from an era when there was never enough of a food surplus to survive a serious famine. They point to people who have gone on crash diets and discovered afterward that their maintenance diet was 200-400 calories lower than it used to be... even after gaining the weight back. (I know someone that happened to but I don't know how prevalent it actually is.) Your Stone Age body goes into "famine mode" when it doesn't get what it considers enough to eat, and becomes more efficient at making do on what it has. According to this hypothesis and anecdotal evidence, this man will lose his nervous tics, he'll sleep more, he'll be less active and more efficient in the activities he does perform, and he'll find his food more thoroughly digested. And when the diet is over, his body might remain more efficient, preparing itself for the next famine. His new maintenance diet may be only 2,600 calories so he'll have a harder time maintaining his target weight. I don't know if this reasoning is correct but I have seen the phenomenon up close and it isn't pretty: a 180-lb person who can now gain weight on a 1200-calorie diet. It's suggested that the healthiest approach to weight loss is to attempt to lose no more than two pounds per month, which reduces your intake by 200 calories per day. That will not (according to the hypothesis) scare your body into famine mode. And in addition, since it will take you longer to lose the weight and you won't be starving yourself, you'll have a better chance of adapting to a lifelong lower-calorie diet. In any case, reducing his daily intake by 1,500 calories does not sound pleasant or healthy, not to mention whether he has the will power to endure the very real discomfort and keep it up for three months. This man will probably run out to the nearest McDonalds as soon as the event he lost his weight for is behind him.
