Calories, kilocalories, kcal, calories, and kilojoules are all units of heat.

A calorie (abbreviated as "calorie") is defined as the amount of heat required to raise 1 gram of water by 1 degree Celsius at 1 atmosphere of pressure. 1 kcal is equal to 1000 calories, approximately 4186 joules. Kcal, equivalent to the engineering unit kcal/kg (kilocalorie), is mostly used in nutritional measurement and fitness manuals.

The conversion between them is:

1 calorie=4.186 joules

1 kcal=1 kcal=1000 calories=1000 calories=4186 joules= 4.186 kilojoules.
