What is joule?

The joule (J) is the SI unit of energy. It is defined as the work done by a force of one newton acting through a distance of one metre. Joules measure mechanical, electrical, and thermal energy.

What is kilocalorie?

The kilocalorie (kcal), often called a food Calorie (with capital C), equals 1,000 calories or 4,184 joules. It is the standard unit for measuring the energy content of food and beverages in nutrition.
