The precise equivalence between calories and joules has varied over the years, but in thermochemistry and nutrition it is now generally assumed that one (small) calorie (thermochemical calorie) is equal to exactly 4.184 J, and therefore one kilocalorie (one large calorie) is 4184 J or 4.184 kJ.
The calorie is defined as the amount of thermal energy necessary to raise the temperature of one gram of water by 1 Celsius degree, from a temperature of 14.5 °C, at a pressure of 1 atm. For thermochemistry a calorie of 4.184 J is used, but other calories have also been defined, such as the International Steam Table calorie of 4.1868 J .
To do this, he called the numbers up to a myriad myriad (10 8) "first numbers" and called 10 8 itself the "unit of the second numbers". Multiples of this unit then became the second numbers, up to this unit taken a myriad myriad times, 10 8 ·10 8 =10 16 .
Consuming more than 45% of daily calories after 5 p.m. can contribute to greater risk of type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular problems, and chronic inflammation, a recent study suggests.
A calorie can be any of two units of heat or food energy ("small" and "large"). The word may also refer to: Calories a 1951 novel by L. Sprague deCamp; Calorie Kun Vs. Moguranian, a video game; Calorie restriction, a dietary regime; Calorie count laws for restaurant chains; Empty calorie, calorie provided by food without other essential nutrients

There are gram calories and kilogram calories. One kilogram calorie, which equals one thousand gram calories, often appears capitalised and without a prefix (i.e. Cal) when referring to "dietary calories" in food. [17] It is common to apply metric prefixes to the gram calorie, but not to the kilogram calorie: thus, 1 kcal = 1000 cal = 1 Cal.
