Kilocalories Converter

Convert kilocalories (food Calories) (kcal) to other units, with every conversion from 1 kcal listed.

Change the values and press Calculate to work out your own figures.

Enter an amount of energy, choose its unit and the unit you want. The answer is exact until it is shown, and the same value appears in every other unit.

About valueA number, fraction (3/8), mixed number (1 1/2), scientific notation (2.5e6) or a simple sum such as 2*3.
About toThe unit you want the answer in. Swap exchanges the two units.
