Hey all, I'm going to try this Caloric Deficit routine and I have a quick question.
What's the difference between a calorie and a kilo-calorie?
I know - a kilo calorie should mean 1000 calories.
But, for example, I was looking at different types of breads.
Hovis had the calorie count at 109 calories per slice, while Kingsmill had 94 kilo-calories per slice.
Now I find it really hard to believe one slice of Kingsmill has 94000 calories
Am I missing something simple here? Is 94 kilo-calories just another way of saying 94 regular calories? Is there a link between the two?
Thanks for any advice

When referring to food, the upper case C in 'Calories' means it refers to Kilocalories (which is the correct term).
'calories' with a lower case c means 1000th of a Kcal.

Basically,
1000 calories = 1 Calorie = 1 Kilocalorie
