What`s a calorie, a Cal and a kcal?

[@j7ndominica051]

Americans have an allergy to kilo, besides milk, wheat, nuts and pollen. The metric system unit for energy is a Joule. Food energy is printed as kJ in Europe, but the numbers are bigger and harder to add up.

[@lucyspets5425]

Hey, i know I’m a bit late with this video but is a kcal and a calorie the same thing? Like everyone says that women are supposed to eat 2000 calories a day, does that also mean women are supposed to eat 2000 kcals per day?

[@apprenticemath]

Yes.1 kcal = 1 Calorie, so 2000 of it is a nice diet, can not survive only on 2000 calories (watch the capital C)

[@stars6702]

1 kcal = 1000 cal , the guy that replied is a moron amd if you want to lose weight you need to burn more calories then you eat , you can handle even 500 cal per day, a plate of potato stew with meat and vegetables = around 110-130 calories, and a bowl of soup like 80- 120 calories or more if you add sour cream to it and other fat things so you can enjoy 3 meals of home cooked meals and consume +- 500 calories a day and if your workout burns 800 calories per day or more you will lose weight fast whitout starving yourself, just avoid junk foods = poison foods and sugar

[@peachy_pie-pie]

@@stars6702 just random question but are you a dietitian? cause you sound like one.

[@Skerboysweet]

@@stars6702 so 1k call=1000 calories so would 50k Cala be 50,000 cals

[@waqask4999]

@@Skerboysweet no 1kcal= 1calorie

[@ethanboyd7843]

There are a billion videos and even one of my nutrition "professors" that are oblivious to any difference. Even the ones purporting to explain calories. This should be the only video lol. But no cartoons to watch so ya know...

[@FITNESSWITHDINA]

wow you sound exactly like Galloway

[@tbhc415]

wait it said on my health app. i burnt 9kcal. so have i burnt off 9000 callories?

[@apprenticemath]

Right 9000 cal = 9 kcal

[@violetdarling699]

So what you said Is A kcal is an amount( I did not catch what you said if you did)of calories? Can you confirm this I'm on a diet?

[@apprenticemath]

A kcal is an amount of energy that heats up 1 kg of water by 1 degree C.

[@rlicon1970]

All I want to know is if the Calorie is the same as the kcal?

[@apprenticemath]

@@rlicon1970 In the food industry, yes. Everywhere else, hell no.

[@riflehitta-4157]

apprenticemath what is that even supposed to mean. im cutting and my stationary bicycle says kcal and i dont even know what it means.

[@robokill387]

It means exactly what he said. 1 kilocalorie = 1000 calories EXCEPT in the American food industry where 1 kilocalorie = 1 calorie. Because Americans are allergic to measurements that make sense.

[@MikiZChannel]

so basically for example 71Kcal = 71000 cal because you said cal 1g and Kcal 1kg(1000g)!?

[@apprenticemath]

Correct!

[@MikiZChannel]

@@apprenticemath Wow, that's a lot

[@ndanindaba4297]

Just as confused. I'm currently in the same situation. And I thought is come here to get more insight. I'm even more confused than before

[@Integralsouls]

@h o n e y b a n g exactly

[@michaelgoulet9813]

I like your acsent

[@aldomandovani]

So a cal is different that a a Cal but the same as a Kcal........ are they mad ? Why make it so confusing

[@apprenticemath]

Food industry feels they are entitled to confuse consumers and hide everything. Water in ingredients is disguised as ...aqua..., fat/oil/grease is creatively marketed is lipid, lipo ... etc. Sugars are concealed as syrup, fructose, glucose, maltose, ...-ose. There are lots of cute people in the legal departments of food manufacturers.

[@TallMichelleWithTheLongHair]

Yeah thats why we have roasted nuts.

[@Niganeiniganei]

Nice intro

[@michaelgoulet9813]

I dont think it was an intro but if it is its 😎

[@saa1565]

very helpful, thank you.

[@pakistanzindabad1811]

it says i burned 76kcal on my watch is kcal=1 calorie?

[@apprenticemath]

no. 76 kcal = 76000 cal, where 1 kcal = 1000 calories

[@moniquesilcott3356]

@@apprenticemath so is 76000cal 76 Calories

[@robertdalton1582]

Clear as mud

[@riflehitta-4157]

as simple as Y+X - B squared

[@brou971]

So foods burn?

[@Sara3346]

Indeed I mean you can't eat any non flammable substances and gain nutrition from them can you? I mean bromine, steel, clay, quartz are not edible. Now mind you this isn't necessarily a measure of human edibility wood burns and can be eaten by certain animals but our bodies cannot handle it. It does contain calories though.

[@peachy_pie-pie]

Thank you!

[@apprenticemath]

You're welcome!

[@nuchinuchitekton7730]

so Kcal = Cal Why do scientists make things to needlessly confusing

[@robokill387]

They don't, it's the American food industry that did this.

[@damianhupka5327]

very nice👍

[@Garrick645]

1 Calorie = 1kg water raised by 1°C 1 calorie = 1 gm water raised by 1°C 1000 calorie , i.e 1kcal = 1000gm water raised by 1°C So , 1000cal = 1kcal = 1 Cal So, c ≠ C but in the food industry they often don't pay heed , ending up using "C" or "c" for kcal.

[@apprenticemath]

That's right, they enjoy their self-righteous privileges, mask liquid sugar and water with fancy names, change the base of percent calculations if it suits them (2what% milk), etc.

[@harisankar6353]

thankyou

[@azservices]

This is exactly what I talk about in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g5nLgHeOfsmHbqc

[@valentinbreindl533]

every body sais cal for kcal!!! this is so stupid!!!!!

[@apprenticemath]

It is. Same when they say meter and mean square or cubic meter. "Get a 5-meter bin for the garbage, Jimmy." or " We need 450 meters of hardwood flooring, ..." Especially confusing since floorboards can be measured by length ...

[@valentinbreindl533]

apprenticemath it's really strange what people say!
