Calorie - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A calorie (cal) is a unit of measurement that indicates the amount of energy we obtain from a particular food. It is a unit of thermal energy equivalent to about 4.185 J. By definition, one calorie is the energy needed to increase the temperature of 1 g of water by 1 °C at 15 °C under normal atmospheric pressure (76 cmHg).
