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

Kilocalorie (It)
A kilocalorie (kcal) is a unit of energy equal to 1,000 calories, commonly used to measure the energy content of food and beverages.
History/Origin
The kilocalorie originated in the 19th century as a measure of heat energy, primarily used in nutrition and thermodynamics. It became standard in dietary contexts to quantify food energy intake.
Current Use
Today, the kilocalorie is widely used in nutrition to express the energy content of foods and beverages, and in scientific contexts related to energy measurement in biological and physical systems.
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 It has historically been used in nutrition and physics, but has largely been replaced by the joule in scientific contexts.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 kilocalorie (IT) in calorie (IT)?
1 kilocalorie (IT) (kcal (IT)) = 1000 calorie (IT) (cal (IT)).
How do you convert kilocalorie (IT) to calorie (IT)?
Multiply the kilocalorie (IT) value by 1000. For example, 25 kcal (IT) × 1000 = 25000 cal (IT).
What is 10 kilocalorie (IT) in calorie (IT)?
10 kcal (IT) = 10000 cal (IT).
Which unit is larger, the kilocalorie (IT) or the calorie (IT)?
The kilocalorie (IT) is the larger unit: 1 kcal (IT) = 1000 cal (IT).
