∙ 11y agoThe 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.

∙ 11y agoThe measure of energy used for measuring the amount of energy in food is called a calorie. It is a unit of measurement that represents the energy content of food and is used to assess the energy intake from various food sources.
A bomb calorimeter is a device used to measure the amount of heat energy stored in foods. It works by burning a sample of the food in an oxygen-rich environment and measuring the temperature change in the surrounding water bath to calculate the energy content of the food.
No, grams measure the weight or mass of a substance. The amount of energy in food is measured in calories or joules. The energy content is determined by the macronutrients (such as carbohydrates, proteins, and fats) present in the food.
Calories is a measure of how much energy is derived from a serving of food. It represents the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 degree Celsius.
Calories are the unit of energy used to measure how much energy is present in food. One calorie is the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one degree Celsius.
It seems there might be a typo in your question. If you meant "calorie," it is a unit of energy used to measure the energy content of food and beverages. Calories are essential for providing the energy our bodies need to function.
The amount of energy that you can get from that food. We get our energy from calories. And when we burn energy, we burn calories. So, we measure calories to see how much energy we will get from that particular food. This tells us how much of that food we should eat, compared to how much energy we expend.
The amount of oxygen that's consumed when you burn your food is an indirect measure of the amount of energy that's released from the food. Bomb calorimeters are sometimes used to measure the energy content in food.
Do you mean a calorie? A calorie is a unit used for measuring the amount of energy in food.
Kilo joules are used to measure the amount of energy stored in food.

by burning it, and measuring the calories burned.
Cal means calories. It is a measure of the amount of energy that a particular food has. So, if we eat that particular food, then we will obtain that amount of energy.

depends on why you are measuring it... if you are measuring to know how much food it can hold, measure inside.
You can measure its volume with a measuring cup or measuring spoons. You can measure its weight with a food scale. You can measure its temperature with a thermometer.
