What is a "kilo caloria"? I'm assuming it's a kilocalorie which is equal to about 1000th of a calorie. The reason is that I ate some food my mother bought and I have no idea what I just injested or if it'll kill me and/or my success at my diet. The label states "Less than 100 kilo calorias per portion" (Menos de 100 kilo calorias por pocion).WTF DID I ATE?!!!
A chemical 'calorie' is 1/1000 a nutritional 'calorie'. Our labeling should be in kilocalories, but we use inches and pounds still because we're huge faggots.Most other places use kCal on their labeling, afaik.
kilo calorie = calorie.
OP here.But think about it, how can a food have 100000 calories? If the label says "menos de 100 kilo calorias" that roughly translates to "less than 100000 calories" which is psychotic since the USFDA recommends only maybe 2000 calories a day...o.O
i sense a troll in our presence.
I'm not a troll, all I'm trying to figure out is what I ate. Sorry if I didn't make myself clear.
dumb spic is dumb
there are calories and Calories.Calories are our typical dietary measure of energy, which is equal to 1000 regular calories, hence kilocalorie.It sounds dumb but i'm not kidding. Dietary calories=1000calories.
1 kilo calorie = 1 calorie.Therefore 1 kilo calorie = 1,000 calories.The reason for this is that there are calories and Calories (with a capital C). 1,000 calories (lower case c) = 1 Calorie (capital C).The more you know...
1000 'c'alories = 1 kilocalorie1 'C'alorie = 1 kilocalorieThe uppercase C turns one-thousand calories into a single palatable Calorie. I would add an amerikkkan fat joke here, but I'm tired today.
