A '''calorie''' is a unit of measure of the [[energy]].  One calorie is equal to the amount of energy necessary to warm one gram of [[water]] from 14.5 degree [[Celsius]] to 15.5 °C at [[sea]] level. The "Calorie" on a [[nutrition]] label is actually different from the "calorie" or unit of measure for energy. The upper case "Calorie" is actually a kilocalorie, or 1,000 calories.
