what is a kcal???

[Manhood]

for the record, a KCal in science is a Calorie (w/ capital C), and is equal to 1000 calories (lowercase c)

OK so on my pedometer it says 52.7kcal how many calories did I burn??

Read the post above yours. 52.7 kcal is 52.7 Calories. Instead of going around in circles, let's pin it to something real. A teaspoon of white sugar is 17 Calories, or 17kcal.

52.7 on your pedometer is three and a third teaspoons of sugar, or four ounces (one-third of a 12oz can) of Coca Cola Classic.

Does that help?

As Much as I prefer the metric system to what ever the other one is (lbs, inches etc) I prefer to youse the Clas system insted of Kilojoules. Absolute jargon.
