So you don't understand the metric system either. ;-)
A calorie (before it was hijacked by the food people as roughly a kilo
calorie) is the amount of heat necessary to raise a cc of water one
degree C. There is no easy relationship with that to joules or watts.
I remember that with food, they burn it and measure the heat produced.
