kilocalorie , kcal (Abkürzung)

This comes to approximately 2 grams based on a 2000 kilocalorie diet.

However, calorie and kilocalorie are still in common use.

So nutritionists employ a bigger unit - the kilocalorie, which is 1000 calories.

The average kilocalorie intake per day was only 1,600 to 1,800, an amount insufficient for long-term health.

The calorie used to measure the heat energy provided by food is actually a kilocalorie, or large calorie-equal to 1,000 calories.

More importantly, looking ahead to the next step-every kilocalorie they dumped into that titanium mass was going to have to be brought back out.

Other sources state that the kilocalorie intake in those years varied between as low as 1,000 and 1,500.

Let's call the large calorie a kilocalorie (abbreviated kcal) and set it equal to 1000 calories.

One kilocalorie is equal to 1000 calories, so the daily supply is 2,500,000 calories.

This marked the beginning of "calorie confusion" because the kilocalorie had to be introduced as a unit in the m-kg-s system.

Of course each "calorie" is 1 kilocalorie to a chemist, or 4.2 kiloJoules to a physicist.

As of 1987, 38% of our daily energy (kilocalorie) intake has been calculated as fat.

The kilocalorie per mole is a unit to measure an amount of energy per number of molecules, atoms, or other similar particles.

This is equivalent to a thousand gram-calories (abbreviated "cal") or one kilocalorie (kcal).

We, welcome to your 1,000 kilocalorie (1,000,000 calorie) diet!

This conveniently defined the energy liberated by one gram of TNT as exactly one kilocalorie.

For example, the energy released in a chemical reaction per mole of reagent is occasionally expressed in kilocalorie per mole.

Furthermore, since there are 4185 joules in a kilocalorie (kcal), 1 kw-hr is equal to 860 kcal or to 860,000 cal.

Within the European Union, both the kilocalorie ("kcal") and kilojoule ("kJ") appear on nutrition labels.

The dietary calorie (Cal) is distinct and equal to one kilocalorie (Kcal), and is gradually being replaced by the latter correct term.

One small calorie is approximately 4.2 joules (one large calorie or kilocalorie is therefore approximately 4.2 kilojoules).

It is defined as one kilocalorie of energy (1000 thermochemical gram calories) per one mole of substance, that is, per Avogadro's number of particles.

Sodium ratio refers to the amount of sodium per amount of food eaten, usually in grams per kilocalorie, or milligrams per kilocalorie.

In Germany shortage of food was an acute problem, according to Alan S. Milward in 1946-47 the average kilocalorie intake per day was only 1,080, an amount insufficient for long-term health.

This figure can then be used to design a dietary regime that places the subject in kilojoule (or kilocalorie) deficit or surplus, depending on whether weight loss or gain is the intended clinical outcome.
