What Is This Tool?

This tool converts energy values from calorie (nutritional) to kilocalorie (IT) [kcal (IT)]. It helps align energy data used in nutrition with the international-table calorie standard common in engineering and thermodynamics.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the energy value expressed in calorie (nutritional).
  • Select calorie (nutritional) as the original unit and kilocalorie (IT) [kcal (IT)] as the target unit.
  • Run the conversion to obtain the equivalent energy value in kilocalorie (IT) [kcal (IT)].

Key Features

  • Converts between calorie (nutritional) and kilocalorie (IT) [kcal (IT)] units with a simple interface.
  • Based on official definitions and conversion rates used in nutrition and engineering contexts.
  • Supports energy values relevant to food labeling, dietetics, and thermodynamic calculations.

Examples

  • 100 calorie (nutritional) converts to 100 kilocalorie (IT) [kcal (IT)].
  • 250 calorie (nutritional) converts to 250 kilocalorie (IT) [kcal (IT)].

Common Use Cases

  • Converting food energy values for compatibility with thermodynamic tables and engineering data.
  • Estimating daily energy intake using kilocalorie units aligned with international standards.
  • Supporting dietary planning and reporting energy expenditure in both nutrition and scientific contexts.

Tips & Best Practices

  • Ensure you understand whether calorie (nutritional) or kilocalorie (IT) [kcal (IT)] units are standard in your area of application.
  • Use this conversion when integrating nutritional energy data with thermodynamic or engineering calculations.
  • Be mindful of the small difference in joule definitions which might affect very precise scientific measurements.

Limitations

  • A slight difference exists in the joule definitions between the two units (4,184 J vs. 4,186.8 J) which may cause minor inaccuracies.
  • Kilocalorie (IT) [kcal (IT)] is less common in modern nutrition science compared to calorie (nutritional).

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between calorie (nutritional) and kilocalorie (IT) [kcal (IT)]?
Calorie (nutritional) equals 1,000 small calories and is defined as 4,184 joules, while kilocalorie (IT) equals 1,000 international-table calories defined as 4,186.8 joules. Both represent energy but differ slightly in the joule value.

Key Terminology

Calorie (nutritional)
A unit of energy in nutrition equal to one kilocalorie (kcal), based on 4,184 joules, used to quantify food energy.
Kilocalorie (IT) [kcal (IT)]
A unit of energy equal to 1,000 international-table calories, defined as 4,186.8 joules, used in thermodynamics and engineering.
