A calorie is a unit of energy. A kcal, or kilocalorie, is 1000 of said units. A kcal is usually denoted as a Calorie(note the capital "c"). And a Calorie(kcal) is what you read on food labels. One food Calorie is actually 1000 calories. Cool, huh?

kcal and Calorie are the same when it comes to food.

kcal is the energy content
calorie is the fat content
basically you need to take kcal away from calories equals weight loss!!!!!!!

any time you see the amount of "calories" in a recipe, it's really k-cals ("k" meaning "kilo", or 1000). so if it says 100 calories, it's really 100,000 calories. don't be alarmed, this also applies to the "calories" you burn off while exercising.

they are the same, i know that it is strange, but forget for a while about physics and maths, in nutrition kilo-calorie is equal calorie
