ABOUT THE UNITS

What Are kJ and Calories?

A kilojoule (kJ) is a metric unit used to measure energy. Kilojoules are commonly used on nutrition labels in many countries.

A kilocalorie (kcal) is another unit used to measure energy. In nutrition, the word “Calorie” with a capital C commonly refers to one kilocalorie.

Therefore, one nutritional Calorie is equal to 4.184 kilojoules.

This calculator uses the standard conversion factor to provide a quick and easy way to convert between these two energy units.
