What is the difference between a kcal and a calorie?
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.
