We hear about calories all the time: How many calories are in this cookie? How many are burned by doing 100 jumping jacks, or long-distance running, or fidgeting? But what is a calorie, really? And how many of them do we actually need? Emma Bryce explains how a few different factors should go into determining the recommended amount for each person. Lesson by Emma Bryce

I like to convert calories into Jules and then see how many weights I could lift to a certain height with that amount of energy, to make calories more understandable.
After having heard that the energy required to access the chemical energy in the food can differ, which I guess of course it can, the direct conversion probably doesnt apply.

I don't understand how this raising water temperature thing has to do with food. A calorie is not a physical thing, but it's always described as such. Can you describe it scientifically so that it actually makes sense as a unit of measure and not a physical object?

The video should have also mentioned Calorie means one kilo calories. Some products mention energy values in kilo calories instead of Calories (with a capital C. Not everyone knows the difference and may end up thinking that a product has 1000 times the usual calories

I dont get how calorie dense foods for example a tbs of olive oil is 120 calories compared with 120 calories of celery because of the food weight difference shouldnt celery make you gain more weight? Do we just poop more of the celery and retain the oil?

2: 41 doesn't make sense. energy is burned gradually/slowly so less is needed? thats like saying ride yr car slowly, you will save fuel, for the swme distance. absurd right

Isnt 1 gram of uranium roughly 20, 000, 000, 000 calories? We have kilograms here on earth so we have 20, 000, 000, 000, 000 degrees on earth that we can make right now?
