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. 1,800 Cal is 7,531.2 kJ, so a tracker that says 1,800 Cal and a label that says 7,531.2 kJ describe the same energy.

This is a large amount of energy. It is usually a total across many foods rather than a single item.

For scale, half of this amount is 900 Cal, which is 3,765.6 kJ. Twice it is 3,600 Cal, which is 15,062.4 kJ.
