Question

What is the unit of measure for the energy supplied to the body by the food we eat?
A. A Calorie
B. A liter
C. 100 calories
D. 1000 milliliters

Answer 1

We measure the energy that we get, from food, in Calories.

~~~~~~~~

Here's a fact:

There's a difference between a "Calorie" and a "calorie."

You see, one of them starts with a Capital C,
and the other starts with a lowercase c.

Every Calorie (CAPITAL) is made up of 1000 calories (LOWERCASE).

Whenever we read a food nutrition facts label,
the number of Calories shown is CAPITAL C,
"Calories."

~~~~~~~~~~~

So, again,

1 Calorie = 1000 calories
