minus-squarecrazystuff@discuss.onlinelinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoIsn’t it “cal” vs “kcal” (kilocalories), as in 1000cal?
minus-square2bR02b@lemmy.onelinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoYes. The “kilogram calorie” is just confidently incorrect shit.
minus-squareEveryMuffinIsNowEncrypted@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up1·edit-21 year agoTechnically, yeah, 1 kilocalorie (kcal) = 1000 calories (cal), but in a lot of places (e.g. Americuh), we use the “Calorie” (with a capital C) in place of the kilocalorie. In other words: 1 kilocalorie = 1 Calorie = 1000 calories (1 kcal = 1 Cal = 1000 cal) Yes, it is exactly as stupid as it sounds.
minus-squarejayemecee@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoWow, at the beginning I thought you were joking
