E_(cal) = 1000 × E_(kcal)

Example

Convert 6kcal to small energy:

E_(cal) = 1000 × 6kcal = 6000 cal

kcal to Cal - small kilocalories to huge energy

1 Cal = 1 kcal

The strength in big calories (Cal) is same to the power in small kilocalories (kcal):

E_(Cal) = E_(kcal)

Example

Convert 6 kcal to large energy:

E_(Cal) = 6 kcal = 6 Cal
