  1. Either of two units of heat energy

  2. The energy needed to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water through 1 °C (now usually defined as 4.1868 joules)

  3. The energy needed to raise the temperature of 1 kilogram of water through 1 °C, equal to one thousand small calories and often used to measure the energy value of foods

  1. (caloric) thermal: relating to or associated with heat; "thermal movements of molecules"; "thermal capacity"; "thermic energy"; "the caloric effect of sunlight"
  2. (caloric) of or relating to calories in food; "comparison of foods on a caloric basis"; "the caloric content of foods"
  3. (calorie) a unit of heat equal to the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one kilogram of water by one degree at one atmosphere pressure; used by nutritionists to characterize the energy-producing potential in food
  4. "Calories" is a science fiction short story written by L. Sprague de Camp, a story in his Viagens Interplanetarias series. It was first published under the title "Getaway on Krishna" in the magazine Ten Story Fantasy in the issue for Spring, 1951. ...
  5. The calorie is a pre-SI metric unit of energy. It was first defined by Nicolas Clément in 1824 as a unit of heat, entering French and English dictionaries between 1841 and 1867. In most fields its use is archaic, having been replaced by the SI unit of energy, the joule. ...
  6. The caloric theory is an obsolete scientific theory that heat consists of a fluid called caloric that flows from hotter to colder bodies. Caloric was also thought of as a weightless gas that could pass in and out of pores in solids and liquids. ...
  7. (Calorie (food)) Food energy is the amount of energy obtained from food that is available through cellular respiration.
  8. (Caloric) value.  This is the amount of heat that is generated by a food when it is burned or metabolised
  9. (caloric) heat. This is an important aspect of Kant's theory of ether in Opus Postumum.
  10. (Calorie) A unit of energy-producing potential equal to this amount of heat that is contained in food and released upon oxidation by the body
  11. (calorie) A measurement of the energy content of food. The body needs calories as "fuel" to perform all of its functions, such as breathing, circulating the blood, and physical activity. When a person is sick, their body may need extra calories to fight fever or other problems.
  12. (calorie) a unit of measurement of heat or energy.
  13. (Calorie) a measure of energy, frequently applied to foods
  14. (Calorie) An energy unit in food.
  15. (Calorie) A unit of energy in food. Foods have carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. Some beverages have alcohol. Carbohydrates have 4 calories per gram. Proteins have 4 calories per gram. Alcohol has 7 calories per gram. Fat has 9 calories per gram.
  16. (Calorie) a unit of measurement equal to one kilocalorie; sometimes used in food labels and elsewhere with a lowercase "C" to represent the unit of kilocalorie.
  17. (Calorie) The amount of heat necessary to raise 1 gram of water 1^oC at 15^oC; a calorie is 4.184 joules, and there are 252.15 calories in a British thermal unit (Btu). (NFPA 921, 2008, 3.3.21)
  18. (Calorie (cal)) Unit used to measure the quantity of heat and energy.
  19. (Calorie) A non-S.I. unit of heat, work and energy, whose symbol is cal. This unit is based on the magnitude for the specific heat (or specific heat capacity) of water. 1 cal = 4.184 J (joules).
  20. (Calorie) A unit for measuring heat energy. This unit is equal to 4.184 joules. Often used instead of joules when dealing with the energy released from food.
  21. (Calorie) Basic measure of the amount of rationalization offered by the average individual prior to taking a second helping of a particular food.
  22. (Calorie) Chemical energy in food. Calories as they relate to diabetes should be counted if they can be used by the body.
  23. (Calorie) Commonly used unit of measure to gauge food energy. One gram of pure carbohydrate makes approximately 4 grams of calories. Recommended daily intake for any one individual is between 2,000 to 2,500 calories per day. ...
  24. (Calorie) Metric unit of heat: amount needed to raise one gram of water one degree Centigrade. When you read a candybar wrapper they are talking about kilocalories. Even so, it would take a lot of candybars to fire a kiln.
  25. (Calorie) The energy unit for measuring heat. Energy that comes from food. Some foods have more calories than others. Fats have many calories. Most vegetables have few. People with diabetes are advised to follow meal plans with suggested amounts of calories for each meal and/or snack. ...
