The energy in foods is primarily measured in calories, specifically kilocalories (kcal), which equal 1,000 calories. A calorie is the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of one gram of water by 1°C. The joule is the SI unit for energy, with 1 calorie equal to approximately 4.184 joules.
