Calories
A calorie is a unit of energy often used in nutrition to quantify the energy content in food. Specifically, one calorie (cal) is defined as the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one degree Celsius at a pressure of one atmosphere.
Kilojoules
A kilojoule (kJ) is equivalent to one thousand joules (J). It is the energy required when a force of one thousand newtons is applied over a distance of one meter, or one newton applied over a kilometer. In reality, a joule is roughly the energy required to lift a small apple one meter against Earth's gravity.
