What is kcal? To calories

[From: ] [author: ] [Date: 12-07-11] [Hit: ]
and I noticed that asian products usually say kcal instead of calories. On this drink it says 96 kcal as with some other canned drinks usually around 100 kcal. I was wondering if that actually means 96,000 calories? In one little can? Thats just too much.......
I have this can of drink, made in singapore, and I noticed that asian products usually say "kcal" instead of "calories." On this drink it says "96 kcal" as with some other canned drinks usually around 100 kcal. I was wondering if that actually means 96,000 calories? In one little can? That's just too much.... Can someone clarify this?

When we say calories we mean Kcal or kilocalories. Usually people say calories instead of kilocalories.. It´s just an abreviation. In your case 96 kcal means 96 calories and not 96000 calories which is the medium energetic consume for 80 days.

see there are more types of calories, but the main are small calories and big "diet" calories and those are kilo-calories and you're 96 does actually mean 96.000 calories, but the calories that we eat and drink are not usually "small calories" we drink and eat these big calories which are called diet calories and 1 diet calories is worth about 1000 small calories so 96kcal is normal 96 diet calories and 96.000 smaller calories, so calories that u call calories are in fact kilo-calories or normal food/diet calorie

Right, Kcal is kilocalories, which are the food industry "calorie"

A "real" calorie is the CGI unit for energy, equal to 4.2 Joules (the SI unit).
1 kcal = 1000 calories.
