Joules vs. Calories in Nutrition

Max Kleiber

Professor Emeritus of Animal Science, University of California, Davis, California 95616

There is no valid reason to abandon the calorie as unit of heat in the metric system. The joule is recommended as a unit at a higher level of abstraction expressing energy per se when different forms of energy (heat, work, electric energy) are added or subtracted.

KEY WORDS: • joule • calorie • energy
