- Why use "kcals?" That means "thousand calories," but that's in the scientific sense. In nutrition, the "kcal" is equal to one Calorie (as we "count calories"). Since they are actually equal, "53 kcal" is the same as "53 Cal" or "Calories." The first expression may invite confusion for the average reader. (Yes, people WOULD believe there are 53,000 Calories in a Junior Pop!) The second is unambiguous. Minor edit, I'm not much of a doer, but I can tackle it if no one else does. Agree? Object?
