		The kilocalorie (kcal) is used to measure it scientifically, and it is common global practice for a kilocalorie to be referred to as a calorie.
		A small calorie or gram calorie is equal to 4.185 J (joules), and a large calorie or kilogram calorie is equal to 4185 J (joules) or 4.185 kj (kilojoules).
		The use of calories and or kilocalories is a global trend and the respondent has chosen to use the international standard for energy measurement, namely calories and kilocalories.

		Individuals with small frames should be close to the lower limit of the +10 percent range, while those with large frames can be near the upper +10 percent range of the calculated desirable body weight.
		The energy required to digest and absorb the nutrients in food is about 6 percent of the daily kilocalories.

		This equation states that the basal energy requirement for a male, in Kilocalories, is 66 plus 13.7times the weight in Kilograms plus 5times the height in centimeters minus 6.8times the age in years.
		For a female, the basal energy requirement, in Kilocalories, is 655 plus 9.6times the weight in Kilkograms plus 1.85times the height in centimeters minus 4.7 times the age in years.
		The easiest rough method to determine the number of Kilocalories required by a healthy individual is to provide 25 Kilocalories per Kilogram for weight loss, 30 Kilocalories per Kilograms for weight maintenance, and 35 Kilocalories per Kilogram for weight gain.

		You take the 306 kilocalories from fat, divide it by 708 which is the total number of kilocalories in the meal.
		You take the 600 kilocalories, divide by 9 kilocalories per gram, this will work out to 67 grams of fat per day is what a person consuming 2000 kilocalories should consume if they are going to stay within a diet of 30% fat.
		Breaking this down further, it is recommended that no more than 10% of your kilocalories should come from saturated fatty acids, the remainder should come from the monounsaturated fatty acids and the polyunsaturated fatty acids, with monounsaturated fatty acids being the majority.

	Accelerated Genetics (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Typically, a young calf requires approximately 18 kilocalories per one pound of body weight for maintenance while temperatures remain within the TNZ.
		Starter intake, while providing approximately 1,500 kilocalories per pound, normally is not a factor during the first few critical weeks of life when the calf is largely dependent upon the liquid diet.
		Milk replacer should be mixed according to label instructions and the volume of water should be adjusted for the increase of powder fed. Rather than increase the volume fed at two feedings, some producers choose to provide a third feeding which has the added benefit of observing calves more often.

	Calories (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		The energy that food provides is measured in kilocalories, which are more commonly referred to as calories.

		The initial reference value of 2,100 kilocalories is applicable in the early stage of an emergency when no other food is available and when only the number of affected persons is known.
		When demographic information has been collected and the degree of access of the population to food from other sources is known, the initial reference value of 2,100 kilocalories must be adjusted to reflect the actual energy, protein and micronutrient requirements to be met through external food aid.
		The current ration level of 2,100 kilocalories is based on a light PAL of 1.55 x BMR for men and 1.56 x BMR for women.

	Calories (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		A KiloCalorie is a unit of measurement; it is used to measure how much energy is provided by the food you eat.
		A Calorie is a unit of heat equal to the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of one (1) gram of water by one (1) degree Celsius.
		Converting grams to KiloCalories is dependent upon the nutrient one is attempting to convert.

	Focus: The state of food insecurity in the world 2000
		Where the undernourished lack 400 kilocalories a day, the situation is more dire than in a country where the average shortage is 100 kilocalories.
		The depth of hunger, or food deficit, is measured by comparing the average amount of dietary energy that undernourished people get from the foods they eat with the minimum amount of dietary energy they need to maintain body weight and undertake light activity.
		Where the average kilocalorie deficit is very high, many people's diets are deficient in everything, including the starchy staple foods (carbohydrate-rich maize, potatoes, rice, wheat and cassava) that provide energy.

		You can use calipers to measure your bodyfat.) This is the amount of kilocalories that I will be using to feed everything in my body except the fat because it dose not need energy.
		Carbohydrates - 40% of the remaining 1050 kilocalories is figured the same way that the first amount of carbohydrate was, therefore you have 105 grams of carbohydrates left to eat.

	Calculating The Solar Constant
		A kilocalorie (kcal) is a food Calorie, the kind of Calorie that we count when we are on diets.
		However, because the sunlight is slanted in the morning and the evening, and because of night, we need to divide this 28,320 kilocalories per square meter per 24 hour day by 3.
		Under ideal conditions plants might be able to turn up to about 10% of those 3000 kilocalories into biomass, which is food that the animals could eat and also stalks and thorns and roots that may not be digestible, except by detritovores such as bacteria and fungi.

	Weight Control
		Likewise, when you put less fuel (kilocalories) into your body than you burn up, your body dips into your stores of fat (body fat) to make up the short fall.
		When you take in fewer kilocalories than your body uses, your body is in a "Negative Energy Balance".
		You have already figured this out: When the kilocalories you consume equals the number of kilocalories you "burn", then you are in Energy Balance.

		Determining Kilocalories Needed to Maintain Weight: To determine the average number of kilocalories a person needs to maintain one’s body weight under normal temperature conditions, the following computations need to be made.
		This value is then multiplied by a factor for level of activity to determine activity kilocalories: 0.30 for inactive life styles to 0.75 for very active, strenuous lifestyles.
		Kilocalories needed for digestion are determined by adding BMR kilocalories + activity kilocalories and multiplying by 0.1.

	The ice diet - 17 December 2005 - New Scientist
		Each kilocalorie is the amount of heat energy needed to raise 1 kilogram of water by 1 °C. Each gram of protein or carbohydrate contains the equivalent of 4 kilocalories, each gram of fat, 9.
		A simple way to measure and relate this energy is as nutritional calories, which are equal to kilocalories in chemistry.
		The kilocalories in a cheeseburger are constant, because they relate to the mass of certain types of molecules present in this food source.

	Geotimes — August 2005 — Weighing in on Renewable Energy Efficiency
		The fuel wood placed in the furnace might contain 220,000 kilocalories (there are 30,000 kilocalories in a gallon of gasoline).
		Thus, for every 1 kilocalorie invested in harvesting wood for the furnace, about 22 kilocalories of wood energy was harvested.
		Roughly, the energy input-output ratio is 1 kilocalorie input of fossil energy for 7 kilocalories of electricity produced, putting it up there with wind power in terms of efficiency.

		Where the average kilocalorie deficit is very high, many people's diets are deficient in everything, including the starchy staple foods (carbohydrate-rich maize, potatoes, rice, wheat and cassava) that provide mostly energy.
		This strategy might not permit a country to report an immediate decrease in the number of undernourished people, but it would mean the undernourished were not as hungry as they had been.
		Subtract the average dietary energy intake of undernourished people from their minimum energy requirement (expressed in kilocalories per person per day) to get the average dietary energy deficit of the undernourished.

		Energy intake during the first few months postoperatively might be fewer than 1000 kilocalories daily with a moderate increase during the first year.
		Intake can be expected to increase to 800 to 1000 kilocalories daily by the end of the third postoperative month, with weight loss being most rapid during this time period.
		After the first year, the percentage of kilocalories from fat and carbohydrate usually increase while that of protein decreases, as patients begin to tolerate a greater variety of foods.
