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. 60 Cal is 251.04 kJ, so a tracker that says 60 Cal and a label that says 251.04 kJ describe the same energy.

This is a small amount of energy, closer to a single piece of fruit or a drink than to a meal.

For scale, half of this amount is 30 Cal, which is 125.52 kJ. Twice it is 120 Cal, which is 502.08 kJ.
