A calorie is a unit of measure. One calorie is equal to the amount of energy necessary to warm one gram of water by one degree Celsius 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.
