I am not sure if we notice, try looking at the nutritional bar on all our food.
KCAL
doesnt they say so?? Then take a look at our heart rate monitor again, or any exercising machine with calorie burnt.. it says,
CAL in unit
Theoretically, 1000 cal = 1kcal.. A simple non-fat yogurts hits at about 98kCal, however a simple 1 hour run only consume approximately 500cal. It simply doesnt make sense in the equation. Then, we will be exercising for ever to burn the calories? Though, I have come across like a plate of rice could be burnt off with an hour of running; which would clearly mean Kcal (unit in food) & Cal (unit in exercise) is the same?

ReplyDeletepengsan lah like tat!!
hehe, next time try perhatikan d calorie column =)
ReplyDeletefong, the actual unit is kilocalories (Kcal). The nutritional bar should also be listing its figures in kcal ... but it's been a normal practice that kcal is shortened to calories ... literally, it's wrong but people have been using it ... so rest assured that all the figures shown in the nutritional bar are in kilocalories
