What is the unit for the expression of the amount of energy in a particular food?
The international unit for energy is the joule. Specifically for food, an old-fashioned unit, the kilocalorie (often just written Calorie, with an uppercase "C"), is often used instead. One kilocalorie is about 4200 joules.
What is a unit of energy that indicates the amount of energy contained in food?
The recommended unit for any type of energy is, of course, the joule. The older unit, calorie, is still often used for food. If spelled with a capital "C", "Calorie", it usually means a kilocalorie.
Which represents more energy a joule or a calorie?
A calorie is greater - it is equal to about 4.2 joules.
What you is the measure of energy that is used for measuring the amount of energy in food?
The recommended unit to use for any type of energy is the joule. That way, no conversion factors are required, when converting from one type of energy to another. In practice, the calorie or kilocalorie is still sometimes used for food.

No, the calorie is an older unit. The SI unit is the Joule.
What is the relationship of a kilocalorie and a calorie?
As far as I know, they are the same thing. Either that or a calorie is infinitesimal. Kilocalories are what most refer to simply as calories (the calories listed on food labels.)AnswerThe clue is in the prefix, 'kilo'. A kilocalorie (kcal) is one-thousand calories (cal). The problem is that people in the food industry are either simply too lazy or too stupid to use the work 'kilocalorie'.As the calorie is an obsolete unit, they should be using the joule.
