Is kcal the same as cal?
The terms are used interchangeably in nutrition and do not need to be converted. Calories are referred to as either small (lowercase “c”) or large (uppercase “C”), with 1 large Calorie equalling 1,000 small calories. Scientifically,1 kcal or kilocalorie is equivalent to 1 large Calorie or 1,000 calories.
