A calorie is the amount of heat required to raise one degree temperature of one gram of water. As its value is very small, in physiology is taken as unit the kilocalorie. So when we talk about calories, we always refer to the kilocalorie, and when we do the caloric value of food, we will refer to its ability to produce or deliver energy.
