Re: calorie vs. a food calorie. A food calorie is 1,000 chemistry calories. That did sound a little like a homework question.
Calories provide the energy that fuels your cells. As a general scientific term, a calorie is defined as the amount of heat required to increase the temperature of a unit of water from zero degrees Celsius to 1 degree. In nutrition, a calorie represents a unit of energy that comes from the foods you eat. Calories matter in your diet because they determine whether you gain weight, lose weight or maintain your weight. In addition, both the total number of calories you consume and the source of these calories can impact your health.
