  It took me a moment when I saw the pic to come to terms with the fact that, for as many times as I’ve seen kcal previously, I somehow never realized it was was short hand for kilocalories. 🤯

    what is typically called a ‘calorie’ is actually 1000 of the real unit.

    the real size of a calorie is too small to used effectively, but saying ‘kilocalorie’ is too long or smth idk.

    people just need to use kilojoules and fuck Imperial off.

      Wrong, a Calorie is 1000 calories. Virtually nobody uses calories though so don’t worry about it too much.

        European nutritional labels use them (kcal). Where do you live that they don’t?
