Here’s the simple answer: ✅ kJ (kilojoules) is the SI unit of energy used in many countries. ✅ Cal (Calorie with a capital “C”) is the unit used on Nutrition Facts labels. ✅ kcal (kilocalorie) is the scientific term for the exact same thing. In other words: 1 Cal = 1 kcal = 4.184 kJ They’re simply different ways of expressing the same amount of energy.
