Convert nanojoule to calorie (nutritional)
Please provide values below to convert nanojoule [nJ] to calorie (nutritional) [Cal], or Convert calorie (nutritional) to nanojoule.
1 nJ = 2.3885e-13 Cal. To convert nanojoule to calorie (nutritional), multiply the value by 2.3885e-13; to go the other way, divide by it (1 Cal = 4.1868e+12 nJ). Both units measure energy and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 nJ = 2.3885e-13 Cal
- 1 Cal = 4.1868e+12 nJ
- 10 nJ = 2.3885e-12 Cal
- 100 nJ = 2.3885e-11 Cal
How to Convert Nanojoule to Calorie (Nutritional)
1 nJ = 2.38845896627496e-13 Cal

Nanojoule
A nanojoule (nJ) is a unit of energy equal to one billionth (10^-9) of a joule.
History/Origin
The nanojoule was introduced as part of the SI unit system to measure very small amounts of energy, especially in scientific and technological contexts, with its usage becoming more common with advancements in nanotechnology and micro-scale energy measurements.
Current Use
Nanojoules are used in fields such as electronics, nanotechnology, and physics to quantify small energy quantities, including in the measurement of energy consumption in micro- and nano-scale devices.
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.
