What is an attojoule?

An attojoule is an SI-derived unit equal to 10^-18 joules, used to measure extremely small energy amounts at the atomic and molecular level.

What does 'calorie (nutritional)' mean in this converter?

The calorie (nutritional) denotes the kilocalorie (kcal), which equals 1,000 small calories and is widely used to express energy from food and energy expenditure by the body.

Why convert attojoules to nutritional calories?

Converting attojoules to nutritional calories helps relate precise, tiny physical energy measurements to the larger energy scale used in nutrition and dietary contexts.
