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.
About Calorie (thermochemical) (cal)
The small calorie (cal) is the energy needed to raise one gram of water by one degree Celsius at standard pressure. While largely replaced by the joule in scientific contexts (1 cal = 4.184 J exactly), the calorie remains in use in chemistry and is the basis for the food Calorie (kilocalorie).
