How to Convert Kilocalories to Kilojoules
To convert a measurement in kilocalories to a measurement in kilojoules, multiply the energy by the following conversion ratio: 4.184 kilojoules/kilocalorie.
Since one kilocalorie is equal to 4.184 kilojoules, you can use this simple formula to convert:
kilojoules = kilocalories × 4.184
The energy in kilojoules is equal to the energy in kilocalories multiplied by 4.184.
How Many Kilojoules Are in a Kilocalorie?
There are 4.184 kilojoules in a kilocalorie, which is why we use this value in the formula above.
1 kcal = 4.184 kJ
Kilocalories and kilojoules are both units used to measure energy. Keep reading to learn more about each unit of measure.
What Is a Kilocalorie?
One kilocalorie, is equal to the heat needed to raise the temperature of one kilogram of water from 14.5 to 15.5 degrees Celsius.
Kilocalories can be abbreviated as kcal; for example, 1 kilocalorie can be written as 1 kcal.
When being used to measure nutrition or metabolic processes, the large calorie is used, which is equal to one kilocalorie.

What Is a Kilojoule?
One kilojoule is equal to 1,000 joules, which is the energy equal to the force on an object of one newton at a distance of one meter.
The kilojoule is a multiple of the joule, which is the SI derived unit for energy. In the metric system, "kilo" is the prefix for thousands, or 103. Kilojoules can be abbreviated as kJ; for example, 1 kilojoule can be written as 1 kJ.
