Just to beat a dead horse...
1,000 calories = 1 kcal = 1 Calorie
1 Calorie =/= 1 calorie
Just like most things in this world, the U.S. has their own convention. They name them Calories, instead of the entire rest of the planet, that uses the technically correct term kcals. Since "k" means kilo (1,000), it is correct.
I'll let the rest of you try and figure out why this is so. I have theories, but it's not particularly flattering to Americans.0 -
