Conversion Formula
To convert from c to kcal, multiply the value in c by 0.001. This works because one calorie (c) is equal to one-thousandth of a kilocalorie (kcal), since “kilo-” denotes a thousand times the base unit.
Formula:
kcal = c × 0.001
For example, converting 24.0 c to kcal:
- Start with 24.0 c
- Multiply by 0.001: 24.0 × 0.001 = 0.024
- Result is 0.024 kcal
Conversion Example
- Convert 50.0 c to kcal:
- Multiply 50.0 by 0.001
- 50.0 × 0.001 = 0.050 kcal
- So, 50.0 c = 0.050 kcal
- Convert 10.5 c to kcal:
- 10.5 × 0.001 = 0.0105 kcal
- 10.5 c equals 0.0105 kcal
- Convert 0.0 c to kcal:
- 0.0 × 0.001 = 0.0 kcal
- Zero calories is zero kilocalories
- Convert -5.0 c to kcal:
- -5.0 × 0.001 = -0.005 kcal
- Negative value converts similarly
- Convert 123.45 c to kcal:
- 123.45 × 0.001 = 0.12345 kcal
- Result is 0.12345 kcal

Conversion Definitions
c (calorie): A calorie is a unit of energy that measures the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 degree Celsius. It is commonly used in chemistry and nutrition to quantify energy transfer or food energy content. The lowercase “c” usually indicates the small calorie.
kcal (kilocalorie): A kilocalorie, equal to 1,000 calories, is a larger unit of energy often used in food energy measurement. It represents the amount of heat required to raise 1 kilogram of water by 1 degree Celsius. Kilocalories are commonly called “Calories” with a capital C in dietary contexts.
Conversion FAQs
Why do I multiply calories by 0.001 to get kilocalories?
Multiplying by 0.001 reduces the calorie value to kilocalories because one kilocalorie equals 1,000 calories. So, dividing or multiplying by 1,000 converts between these units, reflecting the kilo- prefix meaning one thousand times the base unit.
Can I convert negative calorie values to kilocalories?
Yes, negative calorie values can be converted to kilocalories using the same formula. Negative energy values might represent energy deficit or loss in some contexts. The math remains the same since it’s a direct multiplier.
Is there any difference between small calorie and large Calorie in conversions?
Yes, small calorie (c) and large Calorie (kcal) differ by a factor of 1,000. The large Calorie (with capital C) used in food labeling is actually a kilocalorie. So when converting, always check if the value is in small calories or kilocalories to avoid mistakes.
How accurate is the conversion from c to kcal?
The conversion factor is exact because it is based on the metric prefix kilo- meaning 1,000. Therefore, multiplying by 0.001 gives a precise conversion without rounding errors, except those due to decimal places in the input.
Can I use this conversion for scientific calculations?
Yes, converting calories to kilocalories using this factor is valid for scientific and practical calculations involving energy. Just ensure the original value is in the correct calorie unit to maintain accuracy.
