The formula to convert energy from kilojoules to calories is:
\[ \text{Calories} = \text{Kj} \times 0.239006 \]
Where:
Kilojoules (Kj) and calories are both units of energy. The calorie is a pre-SI metric unit of energy, while the kilojoule is an SI unit of energy. One calorie is defined as the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one degree Celsius. One kilojoule is equal to 1,000 joules, and it is the energy required to move a one-kilogram weight one meter against a force of one newton. In dietary terms, food energy is often measured in kilojoules or calories, with a general conversion of 1 calorie being approximately equal to 4.184 kilojoules.
Let's assume the following value:
Using the formula:
\[ \text{Calories} = 500 \times 0.239006 = 119.5030 \]
The Energy in Calories is 119.5030.
Let's assume the following value:
Using the formula:
\[ \text{Calories} = 1000 \times 0.239006 = 239.0060 \]
The Energy in Calories is 239.0060.
