The 'Calories' on food labels are kilocalories: a 100 kcal snack is 100 food Calories, or about 418 kJ.

Enter an amount of energy, choose the unit you have and the unit you want. Note that a food 'Calorie' is a kilocalorie (1,000 small calories).

Frequently asked questions

Is a food Calorie the same as a calorie?

No. A food 'Calorie' (capital C) is a kilocalorie — 1,000 of the small calories used in physics. So a 250 Calorie chocolate bar contains 250 kcal, or roughly 1,046 kJ.
