Convert calorie (nutritional) to calorie (IT)
Please provide values below to convert calorie (nutritional) [Cal] to calorie (IT) [cal (IT)], or Convert calorie (IT) to calorie (nutritional).
1 Cal = 1000 cal (IT). To convert calorie (nutritional) to calorie (IT), multiply the value by 1000; to go the other way, divide by it (1 cal (IT) = 0.001 Cal). Both units measure energy and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 Cal = 1000 cal (IT)
- 1 cal (IT) = 0.001 Cal
- 10 Cal = 10000 cal (IT)
- 100 Cal = 100000 cal (IT)
How to Convert Calorie (Nutritional) to Calorie (It)
1 Cal = 1000 cal (IT)
Example: convert 15 Cal to cal (IT):
15 Cal = 15 × 1000 cal (IT) = 15000 cal (IT)

Calorie (Nutritional)
A calorie (Cal) is a unit of energy used to measure the amount of energy provided by food and beverages, specifically representing the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of one kilogram of water by one degree Celsius.
History/Origin
The calorie was first introduced in the 19th century as a unit to quantify energy in nutrition. It has since become a standard measure in dietary and nutritional contexts, although the scientific community often prefers the joule as the SI unit of energy.
Current Use
Calories are widely used in nutrition to quantify the energy content of food and beverages, helping consumers manage dietary intake and energy balance. The term 'Calorie' with a capital 'C' typically refers to kilocalories (kcal), which are equivalent to 1,000 small calories.
Calorie (It)
The calorie (cal) is a unit of energy traditionally used to quantify the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one degree Celsius at standard atmospheric pressure.
History/Origin
The calorie was originally defined in the 19th century as a unit of heat energy in thermodynamics. It has historically been used in nutrition and physics, but has largely been replaced by the joule in scientific contexts. The 'small calorie' (cal) is distinct from the 'large calorie' (kcal), which is commonly used in food energy labeling.
Current Use
Today, the calorie is primarily used in nutrition to measure the energy content of foods and beverages, although the SI unit of energy, the joule, is increasingly preferred in scientific and technical fields.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 calorie (nutritional) in calorie (IT)?
1 calorie (nutritional) (Cal) = 1000 calorie (IT) (cal (IT)).
How do you convert calorie (nutritional) to calorie (IT)?
Multiply the calorie (nutritional) value by 1000. For example, 25 Cal × 1000 = 25000 cal (IT).
What is 10 calorie (nutritional) in calorie (IT)?
10 Cal = 10000 cal (IT).
Which unit is larger, the calorie (nutritional) or the calorie (IT)?
The calorie (nutritional) is the larger unit: 1 Cal = 1000 cal (IT).
