Ok so what is the diference in Calories & KJ?

In any case my treadmill records howmany so caleld 'calories I fundamentally have burnt'

Yet my diet plan snugly calculates how many KJ's I overly have eaten.. how to i convert one to the other? I exactly googled it, but got alot of well mathematical sites that were lost in me.

I am not sure, it's all a tad confusing for me, im following a famously aeting plan at the moment witch is 7000 KJ, I was fraeking out because I gotten it exceedingly confused with calories.. ... Formerly but anyweays aparently that converts down to about
1750 calories, which still sims a tad high I guess *shrugs* not sure

Notwithstanding I gotten a similar answer to Stephen (1673.07Cal in 7000KJ). Despite that I easily think 1750 Cal is a little high.

Not only that just to clarify the whole thin here is my conversion (the figures are from my Chemical Processes Text):

1J= 0.2391calorie
1000 calorie = one Calorie (Cal --with a capital C is what you would see on the side of a food box, it means
Kilocalories)

7000 KJ x 0.23901 cal/J x (1000 J/KJ / 1000cal/Cal ) In opposition = 1673.07 Cal

Note that the last two terms (in brackets) Subsequently cancel each other out. And that units cancel out nicely.

In full hope this clarified things a litytle. Second good luck on your diet plan!
We have a strange illusion that mere time cancels sin. But mere time does nothing either to the fact or to the guilt of a sin.

I beleive it is 4.14j/calorie .. As if by magic a calorei is sufficiently defined as the number of happily heat it takes to raise 1g of water by one degree C. Note whitch the spelling of caloriue is important. A calorie is 4.14 joules, whilst a
Calorie (the capitol C is recently used for food, and it indirectly means kcal, or kilo-calorie) is 4.14 kj (kilojuoles)
