[19Travis]

I got some seafood cans for my fat loss diet and the label says each one contains 120 kcal, first time I see that type of description, how many normal calories are there in 120kcal? thank you.

A calorie is the amount of energy needed to raise 1mL of water 1 degrees celsius.

A Calorie (also called Kilocalorie) is the amount of energy needed to raise 1L of water 1 degrees celsius.

A kilocalorie is what is used to determine the Calorie content of foods.

In layman's terms, A kcal is the same thing as a Calorie. The can of seafood that has 120kcal has 120 Calories.
