Good to know
The kilocalorie is the food "Calorie" (capital C) shown on nutrition labels. It is based here on the thermochemical calorie, so 1 kcal is exactly 4.184 kJ.
This is the foot-pound as a unit of energy. The same name is commonly used for torque (properly the pound-foot, lbf·ft), which is a different quantity and converts to newton-meters, not joules.
