What is the difference between a calorie (cal) and a Calorie (kcal)?
In physics and chemistry, a small calorie (cal) is the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 degree Celsius. In nutrition, the "calorie" commonly used (often capitalized as Calorie) is actually a kilocalorie (kcal), which is 1000 small calories. So, 1 food Calorie = 1 kcal = 1000 cal.
