kJ, Calories and kcal

Calories are the unit most recipes and fitness apps use. A food Calorie, written Cal here and also called kcal, is 4.184 kJ, and kilojoules (kJ) are what many food labels show. 1,600 Cal is 6,694.4 kJ, so a tracker that says 1,600 Cal and a label that says 6,694.4 kJ describe the same energy.

This is more than most single servings, so it is usually a total across several items.

For scale, half of this amount is 800 Cal, which is 3,347.2 kJ. Twice it is 3,200 Cal, which is 13,388.8 kJ.
