      For the purposes of nutrition guidance, a kilocalorie and a Calorie are the same unit. Yes. It’s confusing.

      Apparently a kilocalorie(kcal) is equivalent of a thousand calorie, and because the actual calorie value is so small in terms of nutrition, the term basically used in the same way as kilocalorie.
