This article is about the unit of energy. For its use in nutrition and food labeling regulations, see Food energy. For the study of reduced calorie intake, see CALERIE.
"Calories" redirects here. For the 1951 short story, see Calories (story).
The calorie is a pre-SI metric unit of energy. It was first defined by Nicolas Clément in 1824 as a unit of heat, entering French and English dictionaries between 1841 and 1867.[1] In most fields its use is archaic, having been replaced by the SI unit of energy, the joule. However, in many countries it remains in common use as a unit of food energy.
