Definitions and meaning of calorie

calorie

Alternative forms

  • calory (dated)

Etymology

Borrowed from French calorie, formed from Latin calor. It was originally defined as the large calorie in the early 19th century, with the small calorie being defined some decades later.

Pronunciation

  • IPA(key): /ˈkæləɹi/

Noun

calorie (plural calories)

  1. (nutrition) Kilogram calorie or large calorie. A unit of energy 1000 times larger than the gram calorie. It is equivalent to the gram kilocalorie, about 4.2 kilojoules.
  2. (physical chemistry, physics, obsolete) The gram calorie or small calorie, a non-SI unit of energy, equivalent to approximately 4.2 joules. This unit was widely used in chemistry and physics, being the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1°C.

Usage notes

  • Most scientific studies are now carried out using the joule (an SI unit).
  • In nutritional contexts the term calorie refers to the kilogram calorie and the term kilocalorie refers to 1000 gram calories. Thus the two terms are equivalent.
  • Calorie counters, such as those on fitness bikes, use the first, more modern, definition.
  • European legislation now requires foods to be labelled with the term kilocalorie.
