Isn't 1 food calorie equal to 1000 physics calories?
- epochwolf 14y agoYes. Food calories are actually kilocalories.
- tolmasky 14y ago1 Calorie = 1000 calories. Yes, the unit is differentiated by capitalization.
- pjscott 14y agoAnd for the sake of preventing further confusion, it's probably best to promptly convert that into a sensible unit: 1 Calorie = 4184 Joules.
