- 45 × 1000 = 45000 cal.
- Final answer: 45000 cal.
- Convert 120.5 kcal to cal:
- Start with 120.5 kcal.
- Multiply by 1000.
- 120.5 × 1000 = 120500 cal.
- Result: 120500 cal.
- Convert 82.3 kcal to cal:
- Take 82.3 kcal.
- Multiply 82.3 by 1000.
- 82.3 × 1000 = 82300 cal.
- Answer is 82300 cal.

Conversion Definitions
kcal: Kilocalorie (kcal) is a unit of energy commonly used in food energy measurements. One kcal equals 1000 calories and is often called a “Calorie” with capital C in nutrition. It indicates the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of one kilogram of water by one degree Celsius.
cal: Calorie (cal) is a smaller unit of energy measuring heat. It is defined as the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one degree Celsius. This unit is used in physics and chemistry, but in food science, calories usually mean kilocalories.
Conversion FAQs
Why multiply kcal by 1000 to get calories?
Because 1 kilocalorie equals exactly 1000 calories. The prefix “kilo” means a thousand, so converting requires scaling up the kcal value by 1000 to convert to the smaller calorie unit.
Can the conversion from kcal to cal result in decimal values?
Yes, if the kcal value includes decimals (like 96.5 kcal), multiplying by 1000 will result in a decimal number of calories (96500 cal). The conversion keeps the precision of the original number.
Is calorie (cal) the same as Calorie with capital C?
No, a Calorie (with capital C) is actually a kilocalorie, which is 1000 small calories (cal). Nutrition labels use Calories to express energy, but technically it’s kcal, not cal.
Can I use this conversion for food energy labels?
Yes, food energy is expressed in kilocalories but sometimes people ask for calories. Converting kcal to cal helps understand the finer energy scale, although cal is rarely used on nutrition labels.
Does this conversion apply to other energy units?
No, this conversion only applies between kcal and cal. Other units like joules or kilojoules need different formulas and conversion factors.
