About Joule (J)
The SI derived unit of energy, one joule equals the work done by a force of one newton moving an object one meter. Named after James Prescott Joule, who demonstrated the mechanical equivalent of heat, the joule is used in physics, chemistry, and engineering for all forms of energy, work, and heat.
About Kilocalorie (kcal)
Equal to 1,000 small calories, the kilocalorie (kcal) is the 'Calorie' with a capital C used on food nutrition labels in the United States and many other countries. When a food label states 200 Calories, it means 200 kilocalories or 836.8 kilojoules. Daily dietary recommendations are expressed in kilocalories.
