Answer:

1000 Calories/kilocalorie/large calorie/food calorie

Step-by-step explanation:

kcal

K comes form the Greek kilo and is the SI prefix for 1000

cal means calorie

so kcal or kilocalorie or large calorie or food calorie

The large calorie, food calorie, or kilocalorie (Cal, calorie or kcal) is the amount of heat needed to cause a one degree Celsius temperature increase in a kilogram of water.
